Teribus - My comment, "We may have given them democracy but we never promised justice!", referred to, "So far the Royal Military Police have investigated 184 alleged offences in Iraq, 160 of which were completed without any further action being taken."

I was not referring to a specific trial, especially since the posts on this thread seem to have veered from the case referred to in the original post.

If we are discussing a specific case with specific circumstances (the one you are talking about) I would agree that, without a body or a post mortem, it should never have gone to trial.

My comment regarding justice for the Iraqis still stands.
