Should have backed off and let them kill each other. The vast majority there are either common criminals or terrorists.

Title Correction:
U.S. Soldiers save life of Iraqi prisoner.
Soldiers used rubber bullets in an attempt to quell a prison riot, but were forced to use lethal force and shoot two prisoners who were beating a fellow prisoner during Prison riot.
From being damned to being Heroes.

They should let a guy with severe muscle spasms guard the prisoners. With a tripod-mounted mini-gun. That'll keep 'em calm.

ABU GHRAIB FIGHT LEAVES TWO DETAINEES DEAD, FIVE WOUNDED
Aug. 18, 2004
BAGHDAD - A fight that broke out among detainees at the Abu Ghraib detention facility early this morning resulted in the death of two detainees, with five others wounded.
The altercation among the detainees broke out at about 5:45 a.m., when guards observed a large group of security detainees attacking another detainee using rocks and tent poles. Guards attempted to intervene with verbal warnings, but the situation continued to escalate and the number of detainees involved swelled to over 200, resulting in the use of non-lethal rounds to disperse the group.
When this failed to quell the situation and it was determined that a detainee's life was still at risk, lethal force was authorized, and the situation was brought under control.
Medical assistance was immediately provided on site and at the detention hospital. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
