should soldiers accused of abuse be prosecuted?

[alkalinetrio]

yes! any illegal abuse is wrong and shud be punished

[Meh]

What suprised me was listening to Radio 5 Live yesterday when the story broke. I find it incredululous that people would suggest to 'hush it up'.

Only last week we had everyone in uproar about the pictures of Mohammed and freedom of speech. I sense alot of hypocricy.

[Meh]

I see two people have voted no so far. Would like to know why.

Abuse is abuse at the end of the day - just because you are a soldier, doesn't mean you aren't subject to the law.

[Chloe O'brien]

yes they should be prosocuted they are not above the law just because they wear a uniform

[dddMac1]

yes they should be prosecuted they have no right to treat anyone like that .Iraq is difficult enough without soldiers Abusing the people

[Em]

I think they should.

I was surprised today listening to radio one, all the callers were saying it shouldnt have been reported by the papers. i agree it might cause trouble for our troops with retaliation, but they shouldnt have been so stupid in the first place. What do they expect if they act like that!

I am well aware its not all army personell, but I couldnt believe the amount of soldiers walking past doing nothing. they are just as bad as the others

[Chloe-Elise]

I think they should definitely be punished, abuse is cruel and they have no right to do that at all.

I feel that they should be prosecuted. They have abused their own power of being able to do that. Those teenagers didn't do anything, they were just simple Iraqqies. (sp?)

[alkalinetrio]

we didnt see it all so we dont know if the teenagers did anything or not! but they shud be prosecuted the soliders!
