    Al Sweady Inquiry - Is this some sort of joke?

    The Al Sweady Inquiry into mistreatment of Iraqi insurgents after the Battle of Danny Boy.

    The report found that:

    The detainees should have been given some privacy while being strip-searched and should have been given proper food when they were first detained
    They should not have been deprived of sleep before they were questioned or shouted at during interrogation
    They were deprived of sight by being made to wear blacked-out goggles for prolonged periods when this had no security purpose
    FFS
    What are the army supposed to do? Sit them down with a nice cup of tea, give them a bit of a cuddle and ask them nicely if they'd mind spilling the beans on their chums?
    Maybe all army interrogators should be trained in Spanish Inquisition techniques and have comfy chairs and cushions issued as standard equipment.
    You really couldn't make this stuff up.

    It's not a joke.

    They've spent 5 years and £30million on it..

      Mad isn't it?
      Although I am glad that they went to the trouble of disproving the more serious allegations, the findings of mistreatment because they shouted at them is mental.

        FTFY




        Shock horror if you ask terrorists nicely they don't tell you anything.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Just shows you cant trust a ******* terrorist. As for their lawyers........

          It grips my tulip this nonsense. We send young lads (and girls soon?) to put their lives on the line, pay them, what, £200 a week and fight these terrorist.

          Then we expect them to behave like they were in some private club function and behave perfectly after they have been shot at or seen comrades blown up?

          Haha, just hearing the lawyers for these iraqi's are to be investigated. Good show, what?

              Because the solicitors kept pushing these unfounded claims and their 'clients' kept changing their stories.

              Fallon has just said he's referring the two solicitors firms for investigation and attempt to recover some costs. Obviously, its going to be nowhere near the 30 million cost to the taxpayer.

                So we should prove that we're better than them by reducing ourselves to their level?

                  I can imagine where this bleeding heart liberalisation is going but just to be clear, what are you trying to say by 'So we should prove that we're better than them by reducing ourselves to their level?
