Brutal crimes against the Iraqis usually end with minor sentences:

From time to time, the soul of some justice and kind people stands up to show to the world the extent of abuses done by the invading forces in Iraq. While the whole world is astonished by such photos or videos, the British and USA governments take the opportunity to show to the world that they are sincere to the Iraqis and thus they call for investigation and will send the accused persons to a trial. Then after lengthy maneuvering, the court will end up with minor sentences that are too little for the committed crimes. This was the case for the very large number of abuses committed in Abu-Graib prison which ended with few months of imprisonments to few soldiers. The case for killing of the injured civilians in Falluja mosque, ended with no sentence !. The British troops in Iraq had committed many crimes for the last 3 years. The photos, published by the British newspaper ( the sun ) showing the British soldiers torturing some Iraqi detainees ended up with no trail !. If Mr. Blair is sincere in his call for a probe, then he should show what he has done regarding the former cases of abuses to the Iraqis. Here is another case in which he can prove if he is honest.
