"Iraq also obtained a significant degree of jurisdiction in some cases over serious crimes committed by Americans who are off duty and not on bases." Of course, non-serious crimes in other cases will be rewarded by the Iraqi puppet government.

PS Nir sent me this comment (citing with his permission): "this is a scam. its not vietnam where they go to bars and brothels. americans dont go off bases in iraq when they are off duty. so there will never be a case of an american soldier or marine committing a crime off duty, they are always on duty, but it allows the iraqis to claim a small victory".
