Dossier plans 'prove Brits will stay'

By Rosa Prince


THE US Army plans to remain in Iraq until at least 2009, secret documents obtained by the Mirror reveal.

Contract tender forms for civilian workers disclose a huge expansion of interrogation and detention centres in Iraq to remain in place for a minimum four more years.

Yesterday Labour MP Alan Simpson claimed the revelation means that British forces will also have to stay the distance.

He said: "This is obviously the real withdrawal timetable. British soldiers will be used to protect US profits. Those who die are blood money for corporate America."
