British coppers are chicken.

About a year ago I wrote about the campaign to indict war criminals who were joining various executive programmes at Harvard. While the criminal under scrutiny then was Dan Halutz, there were many others, and one of them is Doron Almog, who headed the Israeli military's Southern Command from late 2000 to mid-2003, with overall responsibility for Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip. This guy evaded arrest in Britain in 2005 by staying on board of his flight transiting in Heathrow, which promptly took off again.

Well, new documents reveal that the reason why the London policemen didn't arrest this war criminal is that they feared a stand-off with the potential guards the man may have.

'Feared' a 'potential', unsure, stand-off with his guards (and they didn't know if there were any --well, there weren't any. Pfff.)

British policemen are chicken.
