Thank you once again for your insightful assessment of the case.
In your post 2990 you said:
the board may have been constrained by the rules, the senior officers weren't.
You raise a crucial point. The senior officers played fast and loose with the rules. They changed the logical conclusion of the officers who conducted the investigation.
They were cavalier, and quite possibly arrogant.
Somebody needs to correct that error.
I have no doubt, somebody will.
