Danes saw results of brutal treatment of Iraqis by British troops

[Spazito]

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Two Danish paramedics have reported seeing the results of abusive treatment inflicted by British soldiers on two Iraqis, one of whom was said to have died as a result of injuries sustained during questioning, the Danish defence ministry announced.


The assistant nurses were working in the British military hospital in Iraq (news - web sites)'s southern capital Basra when they were asked to treat the two Iraqis who had been brought to the hospital after allegedly enduring brutal treatment at the hand of their British interrogators.


One of the Iraqis later succumbed to his injuries, according to the Danish witnesses.

The Danish paramedics had reported the matter to a Danish army legal adviser but news of the incident only reached the Danish Defence Ministry, the ministry said late Thursday.

1. I saw this reported yesterday in DU. My same comment: how

come the information about abuse is so slow to go up the ranks, not only in the USA but even in Denmark.

2. You don't really think the info didn't go up? Come on! It went up,

but the world leaders accepted it because it was part of Bush's ordered plan!

3. Bet coverage of this is being swamped ...

by the "phony photos" story.
