Exposing War Crimes Riskier Than Doing War Crimes, Australian Man Finds:

https://theshovel.com.au/2023/11/16/exposing-war-crimes-riskier-than-doing-war-crimes/

Blowing the whistle in Australia about war crimes is more likely to see you face a prison sentence than if you actually just did the war crimes yourself, ex solider David McBride is discovering.

McBride was the first person in Australia to be charged in relation to war crimes in Afghanistan. However, in a minor detail that seems to have gone unnoticed by the Australian Government, he was the guy actually revealing the war crimes, rather than doing them.

Defence barrister Phillipa Lee said she always advised her clients against revealing war crimes. "If you're into that type of thing it's a much safer option to just do them. At least in Australia," she said.

It does send the bluntest of messages by a authority State.

 

You get less time for multiple murders that reporting on it.

 

I get the message, better leave it at that!
