'It is taking the idea of diplomatic immunity and applying it to 130,000 troops. There is a danger that you are actually going from immunity to being able to act with impunity.'

This is a personal opinion, and lacking much value, as it’s directed against his own under-paid, under-supported UK troops. As shown -- at least as far as the American forces of the Coalition are concerned -- crimes found to have been committed within Iraq by American forces are properly addressed, and prosecuted to the fullest.

Now, if you would rather our troops be found guilty by Iraqi law of crimes found and reported by our troops, and perhaps be stoned to death in a pit, that's your problem.
