That supposed "moral" leg the French are trying to stand on keeps getting shorter:
PARIS – French troops in Ivory Coast suffocated a prisoner, and commanders knew of the killing but did not report it to their superiors, the Defense Ministry said Wednesday.
The prisoner, Firmin Mahe, "was killed by suffocation by French soldiers in an armored vehicle," the ministry said in a statement summarizing findings from an investigation begun last month.
The command of the French force in Ivory Coast "was informed of the facts but did not make them known" to superiors, the statement added.
Sounds to me like Chirac needs to be investigate. This could go all the way to the top! (sic)
