Servicemen are subject to the Officail secrets Act. Should not the Defence Minister and servicemen be charged?
Clive H is wrong. You sign the Official Secrets Act when you join up and you sign it again when you leave. This must have been taken into account by the MOD,who would have known that this bunch would hardly have been in possession of any sort of military secret, including their own number, rank and name. You can’t charge the Secretary of State for Defence – he is a civilian. You can’t charge the released hostages because they have been encouraged to do what they have done. It’s just another example of weak leadership and poor quality servicemen (and woman).
