Given their responsibilities before and after the incident, it would have been more than a tad embarassing to discover evidence corroborating the existence of CI which they had hitherto failed to discover, Ditto the RAF, so with all due respect, I am reading the report with a very large pinch of salt.
If there is a real desire to find out the state of scientific / medical knowledge on the topic, there needs to be an independent person / body conducting the search, ie one which can express an opinion without the risk of incriminating itself or its own past inaction.
Who would you suggest (or perhaps who would be acceptable)?
