The charge against Colonel Mendonca was thrown out of court yesterday - with two other soldiers yet to receive verdicts. The family of Baha Mousa, however still await justice of their own - they were close to it when Corporal Donald Payne - as the court heard continuously banged Mousa's against the wall as well as kicking him in the ribs, with Payne's colleagues watching...and the other detainees hearing him crying that he didn't support Saddam. Payne was acquitted of the manslaughter. We're told the authorities (id est; the government) were prepared to sacrifice innocent soldiers in the name of political correctness. How can that be...as one soldier, and his group of colleagues used their 'fear of terrorist actions' to assist in the death of Mr. Mousa laughing all the way to the pub after a day out in court, and a colonel being made to be dragged through the same courts in order to make the government look good. And the Mousa family, etc - who will speak up for them?
