BBC News online, 28.11.1997 Other military news stories Other news stories Military home page
Sandhurst's reputation would be badly dented if the allegations proved to be true Military police have been called in to investigate bribery allegations at Britain's top academy for army officers, Sandhurst. A Ministry of Defence spokesman says the Royal Military Police are investigating a "number of allegations raised by some overseas officer cadets" at the Berkshire academy. He says: "The issue is in connection with the acceptance of gifts in contravention of Queen's regulations for the Army." The MOD statement on Thursday night came only hours before a tabloid newspaper hit the streets claiming seven army instructors had been arrested after allegedly taking "huge bribes" from rich Arab cadets. The Sun claims the instructors accepted BMW and Mercedes cars, Rolex watches and foreign holidays in return for giving better grades to the trainee officers. About 10% of the 600 cadets attending Sandhurst are foreign, mainly from Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other British allies in Asia and Africa.

There are more than 150,000 troops in Iraq. The vast majority are American, but other countries have sizeable contingents, and some have just a handful of troops. But some nations may be reconsidering their position in the light of continuing attacks against the occupation forces, and a rash of hostage-taking. Click on the countries below to see where they stand.
United States Turkey United Kingdom Australia ... Russia
United States
The US has around 135,000 troops in Iraq. Along with Iraqi security forces, they are responsible for all of the north and west of the country, and much of the centre, including Baghdad. Troop deployments are down from a high of about 150,000 during the war. The Pentagon planned to reduce the number of American troops to about 110,000 by mid-2004. But with no end to violence on the ground, US generals have appealed for more troops - and the defence department has agreed to keep the level at about 130,000 over the short term. The main flashpoints have been Falluja and other parts of the "Sunni triangle", where hundreds have been killed in clashes between US forces and insurgents.

Thailand's tinderbox: Foreign links feared
By David Fullbrook
BANGKOK - Troops are on the march, militants are assassinating and bombing, dimming hopes for a quick return of peace to the rubber estates, oil-palm plantations and rice paddies of southern Thailand's troubled Muslim borderlands. It seems only a matter of time before this spiraling conflict brings screams and tears to Bangkok.
Attacks on security forces have not diminished since the Krue Se uprising in which 107 raiders died last Wednesday. There is more to come. "From some of the confessions of the last week, we know more attacks are planned," said Dr Panitan Wattanayagorn, a former Thai national-security adviser hailing from the south.
General Kitti Rattanachaya, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's security adviser, calls Krue Se the first salvo in a campaign by local rebels and regional militants against the government, reports say. Over at the Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, diplomats are certain the unrest remains a local non-sectarian affair. It's a disturbing contradiction.

Moving toward a police state
(or have we arrived?)
by Michael Ratner
Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), globalresearch.ca , 30 November 2001
I live a few blocks from the World Trade Center. In New York, we are still mourning the loss of so many after the attacks on our city. We want to arrest and punish the terrorists, eliminate the terrorist network and prevent future attacks. But the government's declared war on terrorism, and many of the anti-terrorism measures, include a curtailment of freedom and constitutional rights that have many of us very worried. I wrote the above paragraph and much of the article that follows toward the end of October. At that time, the repressive machinery then being put into effect was already terrifying. Since that time the situation has gotten unimaginably worse; rights that we thought embedded in the constitution and protected by international law are in serious jeopardy or have already been eliminated. It is no exaggeration to say we are moving toward a police state. In this atmosphere, we should take nothing for granted. We will not be protected, nor will the courts, the congress, or the many liberals who are gleefully jumping on the bandwagon of repression guarantee our rights. We have no choice but to make our voices be heard; it is time to stand and be counted on the side of justice and against the antediluvian forces that have much of our country in a stranglehold.

Military tribunals, monitoring of lawyers: Bush announces new police-state measures
By Kate Randall 17 November 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author In the space of little more than a week, the Bush administration has issued a series of executive orders that amount to the most far-reaching assault on democratic rights in modern legal history. The directives violate protections laid down in the US Constitution and upheld by judicial precedent over many decades. On Tuesday, Bush issued an executive order allowing for the use of special military courts to try suspected terrorists. This followed by days the announcement that Attorney General John Ashcroft had authorized the monitoring of conversations between lawyers and clients in federal custody, including people who have been detained but not charged with any crime. Other recent executive orders include the following: * A new policy on visa applications affecting men, ages 16 to 45, from 25 Middle Eastern and African countries. All such applicants will face intense scrutiny and long delays in the processing of their requests. Their names will be checked against databases maintained by the FBI.

  • There is no reason to even consider changing the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits the use of the military as domestic police.
  • We must protect from terrorism but we should never retreat on basic freedoms. Bush says he's "only" calling for "review" of the Posse Comitatus Act.

    Chairperson Employees of the Department of National Defence and members of the Canadian Forces, as well as the Canadian public, must have confidence in the integrity of the military justice system and in the role played by the military police within that system.
    INTRODUCTION
    Complaints concerning members of the Canadian Forces military police must be thoroughly and professionally examined. That examination must be independent and unbiased. Employees of the Department of National Defence and members of the Canadian Forces, as well as the Canadian public, must have confidence in the integrity of the military justice system and in the role played by the military police within that system. The Military Police Complaints Commission (the Commission) has now been in existence for over two years, having begun its formal operations on December 1, 1999. My goal has been to ensure that Canada’s military justice system and those affected by that system are well served by the Commission as an independent, external oversight agency.

We all wound up in MP companies all over Korea. I and Cpl. DUMONT went to the 7th MP Company up in Mauser Valley in May, 1954. Our pay records disappeared immediately after and I and DUMONT went without money for 90 days until the US Army created pay records for us. Apparently we were to start the PHOENIX program in what was later to become Vietnam. Dien Bien Phu fell 30 days later.

    They're Not Military Police
    Edward Luttwak makes the point that the soldiers of the 4th Mechanized and 101st Airmobile Divisions are not military police: Op-Ed Contributor: So Few Soldiers, So Much to Do : ...Thus the number of troops on patrol at any one time is no more than 28,000 to oversee frontiers terrorists are trying to cross, to patrol rural terrain including vast oil fields, to control inter-city roads, and to protect American and coalition facilities. Even if so few could do so much, it still leaves the question of how to police the squares, streets and alleys of Baghdad, with its six million inhabitants, not to mention Mosul with 1.7 million, Kirkuk with 800,000, and Sunni towns like Falluja, with its quarter-million restive residents. In fact, the 28,000 American troops are now so thinly spread that they cannot reliably protect even themselves; the helicopter shot down on Sunday was taking off from an area that had not been secured, because doing so would have required hundreds of soldiers. For comparison, there are 39,000 police officers in New York City alone — and they at least know the languages of most of the inhabitants, few of whom are likely to be armed Baathist or Islamist fanatics. TrackBack
    Main
    Comments Why do people with valid points to make feel compelled to gild the lily? By much the same arithmetic he uses, 39000 people in the NYPD probably amounts to about 7-8000 officers on the street at any one time. No one would claim that Iraq isn't far more than 4.5 times as hard to police than NY (well, someone might), so why bother with to compare 39K with 28k?

    Foreign Military Intervention Looms over Haiti
    Unsigned editorial, Haïti Progrès (independent weekly), Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Feb. 18, 2004
    Masked Haitians protest against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Port-au-Prince, Feb. 22, 2004 (Photo: Jaime Razuri/AFP-Getty Images). Haiti this week started to look a lot like the Congo in 1960.
    That was when the United States and Belgium, the Congo’s colonial master until June 1960, fomented a rebellion against newly elected Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. The rebellion, which not coincidentally flared in the oil- and mineral-rich Katanga province, was led by Moise Tshombe, a wealthy plantation owner who was backed by 10,000 Belgian troops. Lumumba unwisely invited in United Nations “peacekeepers” to fend off the attack. Instead of helping him, the U.N. forces disarmed Lumumba’s troops, thus aiding Tshombe’s rebellion. Meanwhile, the CIA helped Col. Mobutu Sese Seko seize power in a September 1960 coup. Mobuto then arrested Lumumba and turned him over to Tshombe, who had him murdered. Could this scenario be repeating itself in Haiti today? On Feb. 17, Haiti’s former colonial master, France, craftily offered to send troops to help quell a patchwork rebellion which it has helped foment. Over the past three years, for example, French diplomats, in violation of all diplomatic protocols against meddling, have funneled money to Haiti’s principal opposition radio station, Radio Métropole, and chaperoned Haitian opposition leaders on trips and in marches around the country, while constantly and sharply scolding the Haitian government despite President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s unending, unilateral concessions to his intransigent adversaries. France also orchestrated the European Union’s funding of Haitian opposition groups to the tune of almost US$1 million last year.
