I see that others have an interest in the past. I was thinking today of John Moyse

Those that comment that the British sailors and marines should have followed his example are wrong. Moyes would have known that he faced being killed anyway - his situation was similar to that of Fabrizio Quattrocchi.

Some thought should be given to the fact that the servicemen and women involved in this incident either were not given interogation training, or it was not effective. Stripping captives of their clothes, pretending that everyone else has been released and even building coffins and gallows next door are all old tricks. Indeed, they date back before the Napoleonic wars... My suspicion is that they had not received the training.

Perhaps a question in Parliment might be appropriate?
