Is there a difference
Second guessing lawyers will be far more dangerous than fighting the enemy. One only has to look at some of them that have pocketed £10K+ of "legal aid" to fight for compo to realise that the ambulance chasers will be all over this soon. This ruling is a disgrace and it will reduce commanders' options in the future; not only will we need political approval to take a course of action, as well as legal advice to make sure that the target is legit and that ROEs aren't being breached but then we will have to risk assessments on a course of action in case we are subsequently sued for a human rights breach. The sooner we get rid of Mr and Mrs Blair's law the better!! Cue pr00ne........
