Army Used 'Casual Violence' Against Iraqi Civilians


The Baha Mousa Inquiry 9.11.2009

Garry Reader told the Baha Mousa Public inquiry how, then a private, he had tried in vain to resuscitate Baha Mousa in 2003.
He said he had not told the truth previously, but did believe Cpl Donald Payne and Pte Aaron Cooper had caused Mr Mousa's death that September.
Mr Reader said he had been afraid speaking out would damage his career.

"I feel the behaviour of the army in Iraq was not acceptable," Reader said. "My feeling of the treatment of the detainees ... is that it was all wrong, it should not have been allowed to go on."
