Please note that the 2 incidents quoted are INDEPENDANT of one another with the prison 'revolt' following the execution of 300 Talibans. Please note that right after he writes "Now we have the Mazar-i-Sharif prison "revolt", in which Taliban inmates opened fire on their Alliance jailers. " He writes "US Special Forces – and, it has emerged, British troops – helped the Alliance to overcome the uprising and, sure enough, CNN tells us some prisoners were "executed" trying to escape. It is an atrocity. British troops are now stained with war crimes." Which means that my statement - "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." Is an appropriate response to his article. Tim
