Well Divis, I think you are a bit inclined to jump on the bash the squaddie bandwagon, and I was not taking sides on that (here, I might elsewhere), so please, that was not an invitation to blame Keith, nor one to blame you but to ask both of you to discuss that elsewhere unless relevant.

The interesting development today is the Iraq government saying it knows who threw the grenades, that they were 2 of the captives seen in the video, that they are married with children (so perhaps not mere striplings), and that they intend to lift them and try them for attempted murder - the consequence of which (I understand from other commentators) under Iraq law is likely to be worse than what happened to them at the hands of the UK troops.

So, interestingly, none of those primarily involved will have benefitted from the release of the material, and if the other captives turn out to have been (as I understand) actively complicit in throwing the grenades, all will have suffered.

So, again, were we right (those of us who did) to rush to express outrage at what the troops did?
