Shawn S is confused. Osama had nothing to do with Iraq. Iraq was to do with non-existent WMDs remember? And if your country is under attack what do you do?

That Smarmy Arrogant **** Blair that's who should carry the can
for whatever that soldiers done and for how many Iraqi`s upwards of 150,000 dead the last time they were talking about it and the majority old people women and children. i read an article today about (cant remember his name )but it was about this old man and he had been a judge or somthing like that at the trials at Neurenberg(cant spell that) and he was saying Tony Blair should be put on trial for crimes against humanity wonder if that would wipe that smirk of his face i live in hope

The soldier should. He is a 35 year old Corporal so he can't claim he's a rookie who knows nothing about the rules of engagement or the Geneva Convention. I understand 6 others have been charged with various other offences related to this including his commanding officer. I would presume these would be to do with covering up the crime. All should be dealt with as harshly as possible to show the world that we do not tolerate abuse of prisoners.

The soldier should face a just and fair hearing at a court. A soldiers actions are governed by laws and as a British Army soldier is governed by the Geneva Convention. If it was found that he had indeed carried out war crimes then the soldier should carry the can and face disciplinary action.

The chain of command that puts him in a unsupervised position This bloke was a lance corporal not a Senior NCO or Officer. He bares the blame for being a bulling little creep But be fare unless this all happened in a one of incident where was the command structure.
Some Rupert passing the buck to a over worked NCO who is to knackered to do his own job who passes it on to an immature young lad who has been trained to fight people in battle. The social worker skill level I would suggest be zero
How long did they train him to be a detention /prison officer does his life experience allow him be able to cope. Or was it all a jolly game like on a training exercise when you capture the enemy and give them a rough time as they would do to you if the rolls were reversed. Na blame the system undermaning, lack of training as well as a bloke far out of his depth in a situation most people will thank god never be in.

War Crimes what did he confess to doing? I guess people don't consider suicide bombings of children and civilians a war crime . What about cutting the head of of a tied up man with a butcher knife, because he isn't a native of Iraq ? What about the bombings of countless nations and the planed bombings of countless others for nothing,, War crimes are a matter of opinion
I say you can't fight a clean war with dirty people and win. If we have rules and they don't how can we win ?? I wonder if Osama would be so arrogant if we had his oldest son on death row.. I mean that's their belief that a son should pay for the sins of his father.. So why don't we play by their rules and even the playing Field members of his family are only going to fill his terrorist shoes anyway so it would be preemptive

Blair. He sent young inexperienced men to a war that was founded on lies. He is the Commander in Chief of British Forces he should be charged.

As a serving british soldier myself, if he has confessed then he is culpable for the crimes and it is upto the court martial to sentence him accordingly. Nobody forced him to carry out the actions he did.

I believe in individual responsibility,we are all responsible for our own actions,so if he committed a war crime,he should pay for it.Soldiers who do things like that put their comrades lives at greater risk,because in increases hatred against them & there is always some-one who will exploit it.It's a lesson American troops have never learned.
