If that was happening in Argentina, Central America or the Far East, they would call them "death squads". The most shocking part of the programme - this needs to be questioned by our Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - is that a memo to the British Prime Minister at the time, Mr. Ted Heath, stated that when the unit was being disbanded, special care should be taken to ensure that the British army replacement squad operated within the law. That suggested the British Prime Minister was well aware that the unit being replaced was acting outside the law.
