Subject: RE: BS: British Army at it again
Martin, you restarted this thread to tell everyone what the Marines are accused of, in case it did not make "international" news.
PR you said, presumably for PIRA. You speak as if you were of them.

The Marines are accused of killing a prisoner.
That is not just against ROE, it is against the International Law of Armed Conflict.

Martin, did not PIRA murder prisoners, not just as an aberration, but as routine and standard procedure?
Hundreds?
More?
Did they not go further, and torture and mutilate them before murdering them?
Even including non-combatants, like poor Jean McConville, whose children were left to go into care never knowing what became of their mum, or the torture she endured before her death.
(Guardian. We also now know that she was interrogated and tortured after the abduction; she was beaten with such force that her bones cracked and her hands were mutilated.)

Tell us why that does not make you guilty of the worst hypocrisy.
