Does that mean you WERE involved in the inquiries DV refers to?

The Boards in the cases I mentioned were serially misled, and some blatantly lied to, by other parts of MoD. The inaccuracies/misleading/dissembling simply continued at the public and legal inquiries. Even so, the Board/SI members would have been expected to know this but their investigations simply didn't 'go there'. When told, the 'independent' convening authorities did nothing, and we had recurrences. But let me know when you read the evidence. Constructive feedback is always welcome.

I think DV's question still stands. Who provides independence? It isn't the convening authority; shown all too clearly in the XX177 case, where it was directly involved in the decision that killed Flt Lt Cunningham, yet provided the Prosecution's 'star witness'.
