Andy, it’s not just Israeli soldiers. Thanks to Blair’s insistence that Britain sign up for the International Criminal ‘Court’ there is a clear danger that British soldiers may be being thrown to the lawyers as well. Don’t misunderstand me. Brutality should not be condoned, and it should be punished, but scroll down this Daily Telegraph account of planned ‘war crimes’ trials for some British soldiers and we find this:

“A spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office said that the war crimes legislation had been used because of the gravity of the alleged offences. The charges were announced in the House of Commons.The former chiefs of staff, speaking in a House of Lords debate last week, accused politicians, lawyers, the Ministry of Defence and the military police of ignoring the realities of fighting. The most recently retired, Admiral Lord Boyce, said that the Armed Forces were under “legal siege”. “They are being pushed by people not schooled in operations but only in political correctness..”

That, of course, is a reference to Tony Blair.
