I hope I'm mistaken but it appears from all the information published so far that we have a case of a serving officer apparently letting loose some classified information on casualties - info that should not have been classified anyway.

Of somewhat more concern is that MOD leaked the story of his possible court-martial to the press together with the slur that there was a 'close' relationship between the officer and the female human rights worker. The latter information was not only wrong but it was probably more sensitive and certainly potentially damaging to both of the participants reputations.

Who should be court-martialled, if anyone? I suggest the person in MOD who leaked the slur.
