I don't see that in this copy of a Jan 03 ROE for U.S. Military Forces in Iraq.
Do you have a source to support your statement?
One of the major complaints out soldiers have is the confusion of the ROE because they're changing almost daily. If your copy is jan. 2003, you may as well toss it. It's obsolete
Jan 2003 predates the invasion of Iraq. The ROE would completely worthless now, since we're now dealing with insurgents.
Another source of frustration: Pursuit in mosques is forbidden without the presence of Iraqi Army units. Marines say some of Fallujah's 76 mosques are used to hide weaponry. Some broadcast messages such as, "God help us defeat the Americans."Source: Christian Science Monitor, "Under fire, US marines hand off battered Fallujah", November 24, 2006.
