We deserve a better standard of political discourse in this country, in my view. It sounds like Mark Mitchell has done some pretty impressive things in his career, including taking on gangs and uncovering war crimes.

Meanwhile, so many people on the left think Saddam should have been left alone, conveniently ignoring the horrible crimes he inflicted on the Iraqi people.

It’s also worth noting that a security contractor is a very different role to a mercenary, and by the nature of his work, it sounds like he was very much the former.

We need better opposition in this country.

    Do you know for certain he didn’t kill people but only supervised or help others kill people?

    As for Saddam when he gassed the Kurds the UN wanted to pass a resolution condemning him but the USA blocked the resolution because he was their ally.
