Chris Buell at 12:54 PM ET

Two US Marines pleaded guilty to giving an Iraqi prisoner electric shocks while they were on guard at Al Mahmudiya prison south of Baghdad in early April, a military spokesman announced today. The two men, Pfc. Andrew J. Sting and Pfc. Jeremiah J. Trefney, entered their pleas at a May 14 court-martial in Iraq. Both Trefney and Sting were sentenced, while two other men involved in the shocking are still awaiting court action. The incident occurred several months after the prison abuses at Abu Ghraib. The information was released by the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. AP has more.
