29 December 2010 - Soldiers implicated in the beating to death of Iraqi hotel worker Baha Mousa in British custody could still face criminal charges, a lawyer for his family warned today.
Mr Mousa was detained along with nine other Iraqi civilians following a raid on the Ibn Al Haitham hotel in Basra by the 1st Battalion the Queen's Lancashire Regiment (1QLR) in 2003.
An injuiry into his death has heard that the detainees were hooded, put in stress positions and kicked and beaten.
At his post-mortem Mr Mousa was found to have suffered 93 separate injuries.
Mr Mousa was hooded for nearly 24 of the 36 hours he was detained.
He died at about 10pm on September 15. The use of hooding and other conditioning techniques has been banned since 1972 but the inquiry heard that, while orders banning hooding had been issued in May and October 2003, the practice continued to be used until the following May. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
