Rule of war
Ten Iraqis were arrested and detained by the British Army. After torture, one died. No one is guilty.They must have hung themselves from hooks and beaten themselves to death, eh?
This has now happened more than once. British soldiers have on more than one occasion caused the death of detainees, but the prosecutors -- also Army -- just aren't able to make a case. How can we claim to be fighting a war whose end is just is we are unable to do justice ourselves? It's a recurring question in this conflict, and the answer is always the same: we claim it because we are willing to lie, barefacedly.
