3 UK SOLDIERS SENT HOME

Three British soldiers in Iraq have been ordered home, "for protesting
that the war is killing innocent civilians," according to the March 31
Guardian.

The three reportedly face court martial and are seeking legal support.

"The fact that they are seeking legal advice makes it clear they have
been sent home for refusing to obey orders rather than because of any
medical or related problems such as shell shock," the newspaper
observed.

"It is also causing concern to British military chiefs who are worried
about growing evidence of civilians being killed in fighting involving
American soldiers around urban areas in southern Iraq."
