IRAQ TROOPS IN 2ND CHILD PORN PROBE


Jun 7 2003


EXCLUSIVE

By Tom Newton Dunn


A SECOND Intelligence Corps sergeant has been arrested in Iraq after child porn pictures were allegedly found on a military laptop computer.

The soldier is being quizzed in the southern port of Umm Qasr by Special Investigations Branch officers. The Mirror revealed yesterday how officers are already quizzing another sergeant from the same unit.

He was held on Thursday after a superior officer reportedly used the suspect laptop.

The two soldiers, who led "eyes and ears" interrogation teams during the conflict, will be flown home for a fuller investigation this weekend.

Their laptops have already been sent back for specialist examination and military detectives yesterday raided their homes at Derring Lines army base, near Brecon.

The MoD said: "Two soldiers have been arrested for possessing pornographic images."

This latest scandal is deeply embarrassing to the army. Military police in Iraq are already investigating three allegations of war crimes committed by British troops.

A senior officer said: "We fear sad and isolated incidents will detract from the bravery of our soldiers during the war."

"Liberation"

07.06.2003 11:50

Robert Fisk recently noted that the most obvious sign of the "free market" in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein's government is that there has been a dramatic and very visible increase in prostitution there. The child porn is probably a closely related phenomenon.
Incidentally, in 1960s Vietnam, the indecorous behaviour of off-duty American troops towards Vietnamese women angered many Vietnamese men enough to make them join the Viet Cong, and the fact that the US presence in Vietnam caused prostitution to go through the roof also had the same effect.

You forgot the Philippines, where childs
You forgot the Philippines, where childs

You forgot the Philippines wher it has taken until 1995-97 until the Townmajor from Manila closed down all the Mabini district, after then years the US has been forced out and had to leave the Philippines. Now the new President a good 'Lawyer-Woman' called the US Army back to 'fight against the commun criminels in the South' (sure they call them Al Quada or Bin Laden Juniors' etc.) but their are nothing else then the corrupt mirror of the filipino society in general, but since the US Army is back the night club has started to open again in the South and young minor filipino girls are back on the street. Once I talked with a US Soldier and he told me like this: ' What you want man, I joint the army because I had no job, no I get a good salary, will get my pension, dont go sleep hungry and in the street, and we fuck the must beautyfull chicks'....

US Army Moral?

There few iraqis who welcomed the invasion of Iraq. Never the less where are those mother fuckers? Are they happy about an ignorant moral less locus invading their pure lands and dishonouring their women and children?

It's obscene.

Maybe the occupation wasn't about oil at all, but to create a market for more pedophilia? Dick Cheney and George Bush senior' favourite pastime. Also certain members of the UK war cabinet. They are all subject to blackmail, must tow the line, or face exposure.

Anti-Paedophilia Witch Hunt...

07.06.2003 20:06

To state that looking at sexually explicit images of children and abusing them are the same thing is to echo the witch-hunts of the imperialists who now occupy Iraq. The increase in prostitution with the imperialists' invasion is a different matter. There's a difference between looking at images and creating them––if the imperialists' in Iraq are abusing children, then that's a different matter from the viewing of images which may not have even been of Iraqi children and may not have depicted non-consensual acts. The colonial rape and pillage of Iraq, including the standard torture and brutalisation of it's people are different from people's sexual persuasions and to equate the two is to subscribe to the ideology of the imperialists. No doubt the same people (probably self-proclaimed "leftists" or "socialists") who subscribe to this reactionary filth also call for legislation to increase the sentences of people breaking Age of Consent laws––which equate murder and rape with consensual sex. Would you also state that the terror bombing, shooting of protesters and general rape of Iraq is the same as child porn?

Imperialism

Western, relatively well-heeled paedophiles frequently go to poor countries where children might be prepared to engage in prostitution or pornography for the price of a square meal. Also, the police may well turn a blind eye in return for a bribe in such places.
In the chaotic and downtrodden Iraq of today, there may well be many vulnerable children like that, and it is hardly surprising that there are "liberators" prepared to take advantage of the fact.
Introducing discussion of the age of consent is a red herring. What we have here is imperialism. whose exploitation often includes a sexual aspect.

What is imerlisim?

To the person who is defending the porn ..etc Regardless whether your soldiers have taken advantage of the invasion or just taken these pictures with them from your "civilised, even children are abused" country, the fact remains it is imperlism which made this muderer wake head high in others country. Further the fact remains that it is imperlism which enabled him bringing and may be impossing your filth on us. So it imperlism and will live to see how it will end.
