Reason Iraqis hate their occupiers #199

When two occupying coalition soldiers are arrested by the government of the country that they, the soldiers, have occupied, don't send in more coalition soldiers and tanks to break the suspected criminals out of jail.

In a major show of force, British soldiers used tanks to break down the walls of the central jail in this southern city late Monday and freed two Britons, allegedly undercover commandos, who had been arrested on charges of shooting two Iraqi policemen.

About 150 Iraqi prisoners also fled as British commandos stormed inside and rescued their comrades, said Aquil Jabbar, an Iraqi television cameraman who lives across the street from the jail. Earlier Monday, demonstrators hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at British tanks, and at least four people were killed.
