What are the army supposed to do? Sit them down with a nice cup of tea, give them a bit of a cuddle and ask them nicely if they'd mind spilling the beans on their chums?
Maybe all army interrogators should be trained in Spanish Inquisition techniques and have comfy chairs and cushions issued as standard equipment.
You really couldn't make this stuff up.

disbar a few "pour encourager les Autres".
Im not sure if this was persued under civil or criminal LA scheme.
The problem with these shyster ambulance chasing lawyers \ solicitors is, they'd probably pull some other obscure reasons why LA shouldnt be pulled. What makes matters worse, is that the two law firms involved actively went to Iraq touting for business!

No Iraqi official signed a surrender document, the US marched in and occupied it, George Bush stood on an Aircraft carrier and unilaterally declared the war over. This happened in 2004.
So I think these guys should be treated like any other POW's.

They've spent 5 years and £30million on it..
Fallon has just said he's referring the two solicitors firms for investigation and attempt to recover some costs. Obviously, its going to be nowhere near the 30 million cost to the taxpayer.

Just shows you cant trust a ******* terrorist. As for their lawyers........
It grips my tulip this nonsense. We send young lads (and girls soon?) to put their lives on the line, pay them, what, £200 a week and fight these terrorist.
Then we expect them to behave like they were in some private club function and behave perfectly after they have been shot at or seen comrades blown up?
Haha, just hearing the lawyers for these iraqi's are to be investigated. Good show, what?

Although I am glad that they went to the trouble of disproving the more serious allegations, the findings of mistreatment because they shouted at them is mental.
