Next you’ll be claiming that the results of any ‘CYA investigation’ are the FACTS.

So now you infer that a CYA investigation is forthcoming on the incident. Interesting. You're a crystal ball soothsayer too? If you can project into the future and see that coming, then certainly, you can look back and see the facts as they occurred. Facts please. I'm waiting.

Since you claim to be a commander, your performance shows just what kind of CYA we can expect from ‘commanders’.

You say whatever you want, talk out of both sides of your mouth and (when you get caught) expect everybody to ignore your dis ingenuousness while you call for ‘facts’. I don’t need a crystal ball to see through that.

That might appear to work in the military where you can just tell people to shut up, but you aren’t fooling anybody.

Having participated in a few of these investigations I can only concur with your assessment. The article is a bare-bones recitation of a fraction of the facts. I am a little saddened but not really surprised at the number of FReepers who are shouting "cover-up" before the thing even starts. I'd like to remind them that no one in the world would have known of Abu Ghraib had the Army not investigated it, fired the commander, jailed the perpetrators, and published the thing in the open press.

If there is a cover-up it will be the MSM refusing to publish anything that might implicate the ROE dictated by civilian command. That's our job. God bless Free Republic.
