Mannle said her bosses denied the request because earlier questioning had not been taped and "they did not want any inconsistencies."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! That was funny!!!!! Surely, she didn't say that with a straight face. Hey, NCIS agents don't have to be sworn in do they? If not, they can say anything in that courtroom.

Let's fix that: "they did not want any inconsistencies." should be they did not want to explain why the interview statements didn't match the actual words of the accused Marines. Much easier to make stuff up. I wonder if NCIS SA Mannle named who the officials at NCIS were who denied her request? Is this why Sec. Navy Winters won't allow investigations into NCIS? Who could he possibly be protecting?

A classic case of the inept covering for the inept. They were trying to hang these Marines out to dry but they got caught, hopefully they'll be held accountable for denying a fair hearing for these Marines.
