July 4, 2011 - CONFIDENTIAL Defence documents reveal that Australia's policies on handling captives in Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001 to 2003 were so contrived they ran the risk of being neither ethical nor in line with international law.
The risk was starkly outlined in a top secret memo from the then chief of the Defence Force, Admiral Chris Barrie, to the then defence minister, Robert Hill, in February 2002, which warned that the prisoner ''arrangement may not fully satisfy Australia's legal obligations and in any event will not be viewed as promising a respect for the rule of law''.
Canberra joined the US offensive in Afghanistan after the attacks of September 11, 2001, promising that captives would be given the full protection of the Geneva Conventions. {read more}
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!!
