The MoD is furious that wikileaks has released many documents about the Iraq War.
They are furious as incidents like this one where a British soldier murdered an 8 year old girl as she played in the street have a very slight chance of becoming public knowledge:
...Lawyer Phil Shiner said the murder happened while soldiers were handing out sweets to children.
He said: "The tank stopped at the end of the street, she's there in her yellow dress, a rifleman pops up and blows her away."...
So, to those that say "you should support our troops", I ask, do they support murder?
I will support every coalition soldier brave enough to not have taken part in this war.

Haven't read the wikileaks yet, but I completely agree, these troops can't be supported as sone kind of militant heroes .... More like cowards.

That's what i thought. Maybe Bijou's idea of 'THE REVIVAL OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE' isn't a bad one!

BUT back to the topic.. I think that the idea of support our troops isn't about being unconditional - much like anything in life, we have to draw the line somewhere and harming/killing innocents is most definitely that line.
