Honestly, I don't know if the soldiers who killed the men had many other options. It sounded like a dangerous, prolonged incident. For that particular senario, I don't think they nessesarly did the right thing, but I also don't think they did the wrong thing, either.
The fact that it happened at all, however, is unexcusable. They are not running the prison correctly (otherwise a riot would no have occoured, esp. for 45minutes). The higher authority should be held responsable.
I wouldn't be shocked if half the prisonors were in there for being military aged men.
Dosen't the U.S. get enough practice locking people up at home?
I think the U.S. has about 5% of the global population, but 25+% of the prisonor population (not sure how accurate this is. . .check my statistics)
