Subject: RE: BS: WHAT DID THE BRITISH PARACHUTE REGIMENT
I didn't say anything about "oh it's obvious", in terms of why the shooting happened, because it's not.

It's pretty clear that the car that was shot up was full of innocent people. That's another matter. As Grab said, there could be reasons why this happened which mean that it was a tragic accident which was noone's fault.

Maybe there will be a proper investigation which identifies what happened, and who is responsible for what happened, and what can be done to stop it happening again. Too often in the past, and that includes the recent past, the investigation have fudged the issue.

The headlines focus on the incident briefly, there are strong words about there being a throrough investigation -but most of the time the results of the investagation are subject to a lot less media attention when they do come out. The caravan has moved on.

I don't think I'm cynical - a cynic doesn't want to be proved wrong in his complaints. I am however sceptical, and would be very happy to be proved wrong.
