Incarcerating The Next War Criminal

Great Britain has jailed its first war criminal:

Corporal Donald Payne brutally mistreated Iraqi hotel worker Baha Mousa, who died of his injuries at the hands of British soldiers, and other civilians held at a detention centre in Basra.

He punched and kicked the civilians when they were hooded and handcuffed and conducted what he called "the choir" striking the prisoners in sequence, their groans or shrieks making up the "music".

You can read about it in the Guardian UK, April 30, 2007.

Dear Editor,

Congratulations on Britain's first incarceration of a war criminal.

May justice be swift, and Tony Blair be the next war criminal to be jailed.
