14 June 2011 - Head of the Iraq Historic Allegations Team, Geoff White: "I simply do not accept that the difficulties we now face stem from failings on the part of IHAT"
The team investigating allegations UK troops abused Iraqi civilians has been called "a shambles".
Lawyers for the alleged victims say only one has been interviewed so far, despite the Iraq Historic Allegations (IHAT) team starting work in November.
Complainants are now refusing to co-operate - they say the investigators will not follow guidelines for interviewing vulnerable witnesses.
IHAT has denied these claims and says there is no basis for their decision.
The IHAT team has a staff of 83, of which 38 have been provided by private company G4S.
It will cost £7.5m over two years and aims to take statements from more than 140 alleged victims.
The Iraqi civilians complain the abuse happened between 2003 and late 2008. The allegations include sexual abuse, deprivation of food, water and sleep, prolonged solitary confinement and mock executions.
Interview attempts {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!!
