re double standards
Ginseng, Brian Dixon.
Thanks for the replies. The nuances appear subtle but the essence is, as far as I can see, that if you can't prove it don't say it. In the Chinook case that covers it completely. It couldn't be proved so the "judgement" was flawed. It seems that the same rules should aply to the F15's in that we can say with certainty what happened but not with certainty why. Therefore we can't blame the aircrew.
It seems to me that the BoI didn't want such an open verdict so only heard what they wanted to hear. I have a 5 year old grandaughter who applies the same logic. It can be quite cute in her case.
