Am I Tom?
Have the forensic people already looked at the bodies, and come to that decision then? Very quick work if they did.
Without being technical, if you shoot at people in a Land Rover, or a truck, what is your point of aim? Of course the Iraqis are perfectly capable of executing people in cold blood, I would rather wait until a forensic scientist had made that statement. Just because they behave like degenerates, is no reason for us to go the same route "Moral High Ground" and all that.
Blair, went for the political points. He used the death of 2 Brave ,(and they were brave, they were EOD specialists) men, for political mileage, and attention grabbing soundbites.

OUR LUKE WAS NOT EXECUTED
Mar 28 2003
By Stephen Moyes and James Hardy
THE heartbroken sister of ambushed soldier Luke Allsopp insisted last night: "My brother was not executed."
Nina Allsopp hit out at "lies" surrounding his death.
Grieving Nina - 29 today - said: "We have been told by the Army that Luke died in action.
"The Colonel from his barracks came around to our house to tell us he was not executed. Luke's Land Rover was ambushed and he died instantly.
"The Colonel told us he was doing what he could to set the record straight. We are very angry.
"It makes a big difference to us knowing that he died quickly. We can't understand why people are lying about what happened.
"It must be a mistake. It's important to us that people know the truth. That people know what really happened."
