I found it difficult in trying to establish numbers - in terms of both camps and prisoners. However I would estimate that there is around 50,000 prisoners of war in Iraq. Children Women Men. The Red Cross and Crescent, have prepared numerous reports all citing large scale abuse of prisoners. I am particularly interested in British run camps - There is a large POW camp outside Basra - I assume responsibility for the camp lies with Her Majesties Government ( Whitehall )
It would be interesting to know how many children are detained by this government. Have Women prisoners made allegations of rape?. Do we torture prisoners of war?. Our recent history in Ireland suggests that mistreatment of POW existed. So would it come - as any great surprise. Perhaps I'm mistaken - are all these camps are under American control ?.

Sorry about the above grammar. Has anyone any idea of - how many children are detained in Iraq.

I was sent a rather strange e-mail yesterday from a business contact. i wondered how he had sent me thsi until i had read it.

All very strange and i cannot recall hearing anything locally if this happened. the gentleman that sent it was ex-forces and i beleive he must have got it through his contacts.

THIS IS A SIGN IN A STORE WINDOW

I'D RATHER DO DO BUSINESS WITH
1000 ALQAEDA TERRORISTS
THAN WITH ONE SINGLE BRITISH SOLDIER!

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Campbeltown, Scotland
and you are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement.

However, we are a society which holds
Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.

And after all, it is only a sign.
You may ask,

'what kind of business would dare post such a sign ?.'

Answer: A Funeral Home

(Who said morticians had no sense of humour?)

You gotta love it!!!
God Bless The Scots Sense of Humour

Buzz, If that is the case - then the sign contradicts the funeral directors code of ethics - and brings the profession into disrepute.
