"I was only following poorly thought out orders."

Or thats what a Danish Court says about allegations of torture.

A Danish army captain and four military police sergeants have been found guilty of abusing prisoners while they were based in southern Iraq.

But the judge ruled that because of "extenuating circumstances", the five would not be punished.

He said they had not received clear guidelines from the Danish military.

However an intresting nugget is in this article from the BEEB (which surprises me)

Last year, she said the allegations stemmed from a misunderstanding with the Palestinian translators working at the camp, who had objected to her interrogation techniques.

I really wish this B.B.C article had more details to it because this last bit seems suggestive of something else.
