RE; Tim Collins
The former Royal Irish Regiment officer also accused New Labour of fostering a compensation culture and when asked whether an inquest could provide comfort for victims' families, he replied: "What answers are you looking for? They were in a war zone and you're in an aircraft that's been hit by a massive rocket. That's the answer. If you do join up – weird stuff happens in war."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Collins was promoted to full colonel after the Iraq war, and was accused by US Army reservist Major Re Biastre of the mistreatment of Iraqi civilians and prisoners of war. Following an investigation by the Special Investigation Branch of the Royal Military Police he was cleared of any wrongdoing. He later
won substantial undisclosed libel damages from both the Sunday Express and the Sunday Mirror newspapers.[3]
In January 2004, Collins announced his resignation from the army, citing bureaucracy,
chronic underfunding, and the MoD's lack of support over the mistreatment allegations.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
