Elizabeth Earle (Letters, August 1) is right to be upset about British troops being charged with war crimes, but for the wrong reasons.

All coalition troops should face courts and be punished if found guilty of war crimes. But the real scandal is that while British troops face war crimes trials, Bush and Blair, the world's worst war criminals, will never face justice.
