:eek: The liberating army sexually abused the Iraqi army. Whata shame. As per this article, it could be tip of the iceberg, there could be a lot more reported or unreported. Even if there is no more these pictures speak of what happened and what those coalition soldiers thought of themselves (untouchables probably).

**My horror at PoW sex abuse pics **
By JOHN SCOTT
and MICHAEL LEA
THE young mum who uncovered the Iraqi PoW sex snaps scandal said last night: “I felt sick to the stomach at those pictures.”
Kelly Tilford, 22, called police after developing a film in her photo shop.
The shocking pictures — revealed by The Sun yesterday — showed male Iraqis apparently forced into sexual positions by their British captors. In another a prisoner was suspended by rope from a fork-lift truck driven by a laughing Brit.
Fusilier Gary Bartlam, 18, of Tamworth, Staffs, is being grilled by the Army’s top criminal investigator — amid fears the scandal is the tip of an iceberg.
Disgusted Kelly said she knew she had to call police after seeing the horrific scenes in Gulf War II snaps she had just developed.
Kelly said: “I immediately realised something terribly wrong had happened and something had to be done about it.
“I started shaking and was panicking in case the guy came back before I could raise the alarm.”
She spoke out last night as Bartlam, of the 1st Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was in custody.
You'd have to be pretty naive to think that soldiers from the British army would behave otherwise, they are generally recruited from the most backward and low life communities to start with. That's why they are called 'grunts'.
In fact the only reason this has even come to light is because one conciensous woman blew the whistle, it certainly wasn't going to be brought to light by anyone else in the army and fat chance of the 'embedded reporters' giving it any coverage.
Sickening if this is true.

Are you sure you're not talking about British soccer fans?
Spot the difference.
I have to say I'm impressed by the woman who reported it though. Nice to see people with such standards so hats off to her.
Sick, IF true. Even Jessica Lynch was never treated in a similar manner.
Sorry, the following story pales in comparison to allegations of sexual abuse, but i was not certain where else this might fit.
Iraqi PoW allegedly beaten by soldiers, 4 June 2003, The Guardian
Two British soldiers have been ordered out of Iraq after the alleged beating of Iraqi prisoners of war, says a Ministry of Defence spokeswoman.
The men, whose regiment has not been revealed, were thought to have been flown to their barracks in Germany. It is understood the allegations involved a prisoner’s face being punched which resulted in a black eye.
The MoD spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that an alleged incident has been reported involving the beating of Iraqi PoWs. Two soldiers have been returned to barracks pending an investigation.
“We would take a very dim view of poor treatment of PoWs and if the case is found to be answered, we will act accordingly.”
