Wow, I did not know that any coalition forces (who are covered by order 17 as I quoted above and so immune to Iraqi justice) were being accused of ethnic cleansing, gassing kurds, invading Kuwait, crushing kurdish and shia rebellions, massacring the Barzani tribe, or even killing religious leaders, but hey, if you think troops have committed the same crimes as what Saddam and his cronies have been charged with, that's up to you.
Or are you suggesting that Margret Beckett (MP for incompetance) believes that our troops have committed the same crimes as Saddam and his cronies?
