It's looking more and more like the Brits got caught red-handed in the middle of a false flag operation or they are supplying the resistance.
Basra could explode over this.

UK may increase Iraq deployment
From correspondents in London

Britain said overnight it would, if necessary, increase the number of troops in Iraq as fears that the country is sliding towards civil war increase.

BASRA, Iraq — In a major show of force, British soldiers used tanks to break down the walls of the central jail in this southern city late Monday and freed two Britons, allegedly undercover commandos, who had been arrested on charges of shooting two Iraqi policemen.
The best I can come up with is that the US/Brits are formenting this "innevitable civil war" we keep hearing about.
It makes little sense to me to have Iraqis killing other Iraqis while they have a common enemy occupying them.

Because of this infiltration, speculation is that the two Brits may have been part of an intelligence gathering operation.

So that makes it ok to kill?
Two British armored vehicles come under attack, supposedly by followers of Muqtada Al Sadr.

Two British soldiers dressed as Arabs, driving a car with guns and explosives, are stopped at a checkpoint.
The Brits fire, and kill one Iraqi policeman.
The Brits are subsequently captured and jailed.
It is rumored that the Iraqi police force in Basra has been infiltrated and overtaken by followers of Al Sadr.

The Brits open fired and killed, But I think I miss misinterpreted, you are saying that the police officer that got killed was a bad guy really. Right?

How does anyone know who they 'follow'?
You also missed the part where the Brits destroyed the jail, and released the prisoners....
The Brits are rescued and/or have their release negotiated.
