Denmark Charges 5 Soldiers with Iraqi Prisoner Abuse

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish intelligence officer and four military policemen have been charged with abuse of Iraqi prisoners in southern Iraq, Danish news agency Ritzau reported on Friday.

Reserve Capt. Annemette Hommel and the four other soldiers could face up to one year in prison if found guilty of breaking military law during interrogations last year.

Hommel was sent home in July from Iraq, before her tour of duty was up, after former unit colleagues complained about the way she interrogated prisoners. She has denied the abuse. Denmark has about 500 troops in southern Iraq near Basra.

2. What a bunch of clowns. This place is barely a country and they're
offending 1.0 billion people. This is truly pathetic. I say, give Greenland to the Greens and screw these clowns. When we come back, there should be a list of countries that allied with * to screw the world, including us. Great Britain, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Australia, etc. Any country with the party in power that supported * should have to take the * family and neocons when they relocate!
