Crimes in Iraq

What I want to hear from Gordon Brown relates to the treatment of civilian detainees by elemnets of the British army in Iraq.

Apparently Parliament has been looking into the treatment of prisoners and have found that the wonderful Ministry of Defence have been somewhat economical with the truth.

Now some of us have thought the same for some time, just look at the the cases brought to Courts Martial and the fact that one soldier admitted an offence and others were cleared.

Now we are being told that training was not all that it should have been. I hope that there is not going to be a huge cover-up over this because surely we are not going to be told that we did not know what was going on because only an idiot would insult my intelligence.

After the defeat of Nazi Germany many pleaded ignorance or that they were following orders. This is no defence. Britain is guilty as charged, as are the leaders, not only the military leaders but also the political who must haved quizzed the military and received answers that they wanted. If they did not ask the questions then they are also guilty.

Now the MoD are now probably going to plead that there is an inquiry into the death of at least one Iraqi and therefore they cannot comment! This is not acceptable. Who runs this country, Gordon Brown, elected memebers of Parliament or the Ministry of Defence? I think I know the answer , do you?
