Broadcasting indiscriminate violence by British mercenaries in Iraq
Stoner was employed as a security consultant by the private military contractor Aegis Defence Services in 2004 and 2005. In October 2005, Stoner set up a website and published a number of videos allegedly showing Aegis personnel shooting indiscriminately, and without warning, at Iraqi civilian vehicles. On April 6, 2006 Stoner was identified on Channel 4 News as the whistleblower who had created the website and posted the videos there. Stoner told the program that Aegis was about to take legal action to have him silenced, and to get his website closed down.[2]
"They're accusing me of breach of confidence, breach of contract and copyright infringement. I can't understand how they can do that because as soon as the videos were out, they denied they were anything to do with them. Most of the clips that were shot, I was in the vehicle. My original intention of building the website was to draw out the problems so that Aegis had no choice but to put it right."
