Blair appalled at treatment of Iraqi prisoners
AFP, London
British Prime Minister Tony Blair was appalled at photographs apparently showing US soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners in a Baghdad jail, his official spokesman said yesterday. "The US army spokesman has said this morning that he is appalled, that those responsible have let their fellow soldiers down, and those are views that we would associate the UK government with," the spokesman told reporters at Downing Street. Asked if Blair was similarly appalled, he replied: "The government view is the same as that of the US army."
