During the American revolution, thousands of "Americans" were killed by other Americans because they were "Loyalists", i.e. they were loyal to the King of England. They were seen by the Revolutionaries as traitors.

What is happening here is that any Iraqis who are seen as doing anything to help the U.S. in Iraq are being targeted. That includes those joining the Iraqi Army, Police, the new pro-American government, and even those working for American and foreign contractors.
