some of the translation Just watched this tv report from Germany....even though there is some footage blanked out due to copyright/licensing reasons, I still listened to the report....
quotes that stuck with me:
From the Int'l Red Cross: At one point they knew that there were 107 children being held
From the Unicef Report: No one from Unicef has been allowed access to these children since July 2003...They are not being given the numbers of children, names or reasons that they are being held...Children aren''t being allowed contact with family members and are not even being charged or the US military refuses to say on what charges any of the children are being held.
From Amnesty International: This breaks Int'l law - they won't tell the names, numbers, charges or allow any visits. When the US Military allowed a "Journalist" visit day, they never allowed access to the children and had a nice "sanitized" tour.
The German Anchor person reporting ends the report by saying that they contacted the British Military contacts and said that they stated that at no time has the British Military in Iraq detained or interrogated children.
He then went on to saying that they are still waiting with no reply from the Pentagon....
