British soldiers 'ordered to give Iraqis a good kicking'

[corksean]

British soldiers accused of abusing and assaulting Iraqi prisoners at an aid camp in southern Iraq were told to give their detainees "a good kicking", a court heard today.

Former Sergeant Major Richard Jackson allegedly told the soldiers that it was policy at Camp Bread Basket near Basra to punish Iraqi thieves.

Mr Jackson, who has since left the army, allegedly took another soldier's rifle and took potshots at Iraqi thieves hiding in sand dunes outside the camp in a "reckless and negligent" act, the court also heard.

2. Nothing new hear...

Another example of what happens when you give young little fascists weapons and power. This war is all wrong, everything about it. This type of stuff has been going on forever. I feel so sorry for the people of Iraq. I wish I could do more.
