It does appear that there is a case to at lease answer to and a trial does appear to be appropriate.
If the UK is party to prosecuting others for war-crimes then our own soldiers should not be above the law. There is of course a difference between "heat of the moment / real fear of death" and shooting un-armed civilians just because they are on the other side.
IMHO, those that say British Soldiers should never be prosecuted effectively condone law-breaking by our troops and state sponsored murder.
