Wait, that answers the question right there.
Daily Kos: Look The Other Way:
"The nation's top military man, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, said American troops in Iraq have a duty to intercede and stop abuse of prisoners by Iraqi security personnel.
. . . 'It is the absolute responsibility of every U.S. service member, if they see inhumane treatment being conducted, to intervene, to stop it,' [General Pace] said.
Rumsfeld interjected: 'I don't think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it; it's to report it.'
But Pace meant what he said. 'If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it,' he said, firmly."
