He was calling the shooting of escaping prisoners of war, who had had an uprising and killed some of the guards, a war crime. I think he doesn't understand the UCMJ and the Geneva convention very well. Tim

Rollcast, British troops are now stained with war crimes. Britain should smarten up and learn to use proxies like America does. America has eliminated 100's of thousands of enemies of America, with high percentages of innocent civilian deaths, through proxies such as Pinoche, the Shah, the Royal Saudi family etc. Other than a few unfortunate incidences in Vietnam, America has rarely been officially charged with crimes against humanity or war crimes. I would have thought that Britain would have known better. We can only pray that the attempt to assemble a broad based, coalition post Taliban government fails. America needs a strong willed friend as leader of the new Afghanistan government who can continue with the never ending task of identifying and eliminating enemies of America. Praise the Lord and Hail to the Chief.
