OK, maybe the British weren't, but the Americans were... cbsnews.com Any WMDs found yet? Brits are gonna wise up soon and abandon that project, leaving the US in a precarious position. Guess they'll either have to hire more mercenaries or institute the draft. I think both'll happen.

I was surprised by the British pictures, esp cos some British commanders had stated that it is the US troops that treat Iraqis as if the latter were subhuman.

I made no comment about the British pictures, but I'm sure you have seen the following: Are the American pictures fakes? story.news.yahoo.com U.S. Army Reprimands Six for Iraq Prisoner Abuse BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military has reprimanded six senior commissioned and non-commissioned officers in connection with the abuse of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad, a senior U.S. military official said on Monday. The announcement followed an administrative investigation ordered by Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites), into abuse of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib. Six other soldiers are already being criminally investigated for their involvement in the alleged abuse at a prison notorious in the Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) era for its torture chambers where thousands of people are believed to have died. The reprimands -- the most serious written punishment the U.S. army hands down -- are private and no details would be released on the names or ranks of those punished, the U.S. official said. A seventh person received a lesser letter of admonishment in connection with the same incident.
