Public inquiry to be launched into allegations of abuse against Iraqi civilians at UK-run detention camp.
A photograph handed to The Independent claims to show Iraqi civilians captured in southern Iraq being mistreated by British soldiers in breach of international law and the Geneva Conventions.

My Comment: When I look at the above picture (and it is only one picture), I noticed right away that the detainees are not wearing uniforms. The Geneva Convention is very clear on these issues .... no uniform .... no coverage under the Geneva Convention. In fact .... in past conflicts .... such combatants were usually shot on the spot.
I know that the media likes to believe that these murderers should be treated under the rules and conventions of war conduct .... but the enemy does not follow those rules .... and the rules are very clear on issues like this .... whether the media likes to believe it or not.
