I am inclined to agree with all of the above. The MoD, Government, Chiefs of Staff have been caught well and truly with their pants down. In January 2006, Mr Ingram was still claiming that ALQ 157 was a suite of defensive aids! This is turning in to a political hot potato. There was no plan to put foam on to the J. We should find out soon if we have forced a u turn on that decision. I do not blame the relatives for being angry at the lack of protection and I do not blame them for demanding accountability. Question is, what is the best way to achieve it? And whose head should roll for failing in their "Duty of Care." Where is the apology and where is the compensation?
