British Interrogators Face War Crimes Probe

Any prosecutions would be almost unprecedented. In 2006, one British soldier pleaded guilty to a war crime charge arising out of his mistreatment of Baha Mousa, the Iraqi hotel receptionist who was tortured to death by British troops in Basra three years earlier. He was jailed for a year and expelled from the army. Six of his comrades were cleared of a number of serious charges. No other member of the British armed forces has ever been convicted of a war crime.
Faced with the possibility of more servicemen being accused of war crimes, MoD officials have been increasingly 'concerned' in recent days about the damaging effect such charges would have upon the 'morale and reputation' of the services (oh yes?).
The MoD has been unable to explain why the films were made, or why training material used to instruct would-be interrogators in techniques that appear to breach the Geneva conventions was not disclosed to the court.
