I seem to recall a case before that of the 7 Paras. I may be a little sketchy on the details but I believe that there was an investigation into the actions of a soldier during TELIC by the RMP. They investigated and the charge was brought before his CO. The CO dismissed the charge but Lord Goldsmith (or his department) disagreed and forwarded the case to the crown prosecution service. I seem to remember that the individual was found not guilty but had been effectively tried twice. It smacked of political interference and would also explain the prosecution of the latest 7. I would be grateful if anyone could fill in the blanks or provide more detail on the case I mentioned.
