Guest amani Posted September 19, 2006 A British soldier accused of war crimes has pleaded guilty to inhumanely treating Iraqi civilians. Cpl Donald Payne, 35, of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, pleaded guilty to the charge at the start of a court martial of seven UK soldiers. Cpl Payne denies manslaughter and perverting the course of justice. Six other soldiers have pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the death of Iraqi Baha Mousa, 26, while he was in custody in Basra in 2003.

Livius 0 Posted September 19, 2006 When Muslims kill a nun in Somalia, the Muslim reaction is "but the men were caught and being prosecuted so it shows Muslims are not bad people". Does the same reasoning go with this case, and with the case of the Americans being prosecuted for their actions in Iraq? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersay 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Hell no. Now being a part of my countries military. The actions a soldier takes will paint his army for a long long time. And with the repeated atrocities commited it is not a few bad apples, it is a large section of the British and American armies who get tact approval from higher ups until they are caught.

diverdown 0 Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) If you do that stuff, you go to jail. Period. At least he didn't hack their heads off, though. Wouldn't that be something if say, Khalid Sheik Mohammed got his head sawed off by a U.S. general and the film was played on FoxNews ? Talk about a change of pace !!!

Midnight 0 Posted September 19, 2006 When Muslims kill a nun in Somalia, the Muslim reaction is "but the men were caught and being prosecuted so it shows Muslims are not bad people". Does the same reasoning go with this case, and with the case of the Americans being prosecuted for their actions in Iraq? You cannot possibly be serious. What are the odds of Bush and his warcriminal commanders standing trial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozymandias 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Does the same reasoning go with this case, and with the case of the Americans being prosecuted for their actions in Iraq? Yes it does apply. It shows that the American nation, and the American system as a whole is not evil. But as Midnight pointed out, will the real war criminals, messr Blair and Bush ever be tried for their crimes like Saddam is being tried? Or will we have to wait for someone to invade and conquer the USA and then pull georgie out of a hole in his Crawford ranch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livius 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Yes it does, i never said all americans are bad No, Shaidmahmood, you and Ozy and others do not feel so, but there are those that do. I won't name names but there are those on this forum that rejoice in the death of American soldiers and claim that the majority of them are baby killers and rapists who kill innocent Iraqis for fun.

Peace I be honest i accuse american soldiers of baby killing, rapings and terrorists but at the same time i do realise how many soldiers feel as if they have been conned into it all and really dont have any choice other than fight or be imprisoned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
