Iraq Torture - Priest To Be Prosecuted?

Phil Shiner, a lawyer at the Birmingham-based firm, said: "This Catholic priest crossed the road when he saw what was happening to Baha and the other men. If he had intervened Baha would still be alive – it is as simple as that.
"He must now face criminal investigation as the archbishop of Birmingham has swatted away my formal complaint telling me that it is a private matter between him and Madden. That is an outrageous response which is a blatant attempt to sweep this matter under the carpet".
The archdiocese of Birmingham said in a statement that the archbishop, the Most Reverend Bernard Longley, had interviewed Madden and discussed the matter with the senior Roman Catholic chaplain in the British military, and had "found no grounds for taking further action in relation to Madden's current responsibilities as a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Birmingham".
