this exploration of unofficial 'official' crimes by the brits extends to the empire and you will find all sorts of criminal actions here in this exposure of how the empire operates;

The above is but a small sample of a large volume of evidence that has come to light in recent years that proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that far from acting as a ‘peace-keeper’ during the conflict in Northern Ireland, the British state pursued a military strategy that actively sought to inflame sectarian divisions through the covert targeted killing of civilians on both sides of the religious divide. That strategy was, however, by no means limited to Northern Ireland, or to the British military high command.

Iraq’s ‘Civil War’ Problem

In March 2013, the UK Guardian newspaper published the results of a 15-month investigation by the Guardian and BBC Arabic. Euphemistically titled ‘James Steele: America’s mystery man in Iraq‘, the investigation presents damning evidence that, in the immediate aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq, the US government and military began to assemble a 10,000 strong ‘Shia militia’ that, under US command, would be used to do three things:

1. Kidnap, torture, murder and maim members of the Iraq resistance and those members of the Iraqi population that supported them.
2. Plants bombs that alternately targeted Sunni and Shia areas in an effort to divide the population and thereby any unified resistance to the US occupation.
3. Create the impression of a ‘civil war’ in Iraq that could be used by the US and allied governments and militaries to justify the continued occupation of Iraq for ‘peace-keeping’ purposes.

While the 50-minute documentary is proof enough that Rumsfeld, Cheney, General Petraeus, and all the other NeoCon warhawks and CIA monsters, consciously employed the services of former US Army Colonel James Steele in the organisation of death squads against the Iraqi grassroots resistance (a tactic that he, Steele, had used against resistance movements in South America in the 1970s and 90s), it panders to the official narrative that ‘sectarianism’ in Iraq was the root cause of the carnage that unfolded...........http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=201935
