This AP release was reduced to an inch and a half in this morning's metro.
Summary: Allegation of abuse by an Iraqi detainee was taken so seriously that no-one alleged to be involved was questioned, no document records of the time of the alleged abuse could be found due to computer glitches, no action was taken, and the case was finally closed as 'adequately pursued' and remains so because reopening the case, and I quote, "would be of little or no value and leads remaining to be developed would not impact on the investigative findings of this investigation."
Unbelievable.
And to think I read this great post on the decline of journalism yesterday and thought, 'steady on, old chap.'
Sorry Joshua.
