Beheaded soldiers: why no calls of inquiry?

PETER KENNEDY (Letters, July 5) snidely recommends that Nuala O’Loan and Tony Blair conduct an inquiry about the killing of an Iraqi named Baha Mousa by British soldiers, based on a report by Robert Fisk.

Messrs Fisk and Kennedy obviously have found the British soldiers guilty, so why an investigation? Would they ask that al-Qaida or the Sunni/Shi’ite terror cells be investigated for the murder of countless Iraqi citizens and British and American soldiers?

Or is it only the misdeeds (currently allegations) that are committed by Britain and US that they are concerned with?

I’d like to know their reaction to the beheadings and murders of British and US soldiers by terrorists and whether or not they want a top-level investigation?
