Subject: RE: BS: Iraq Issues Warrant of British Soldiers
Thankfully for the accused Dianavan, in the UK, even under military codes of justice there still exists the presumption of innocence until PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It would appear under your preferred scheme of things just to be accused is enough. Dianavan you would do better under the code of justice I support, than anyone else would under the code you seem to advocate.

The Court Martial of the seven men referred to in MGOH's post cost the British Taxpayer £10m, and many of those involved from the outset were of the opinion that there never was any case for these men to answer. Having followed the case at a distance I must admit I have never seen any reference to the blood sample taken from one of the screw recesses on one of the rifles. Witnesses were paid to lie, witnesses who were proven to have been nowhere near the place of the incident appeared to give evidence, witnesses admitted that the only reason they were there was because they were being paid to attend (£100 per day plus food and accommodation), none of these witnesses could identify ANY of the men charged.
