Are you actually saying that all information gathered by f.ex the AAIB after an accident is public property for all to see?
Would you accept that a transcript of an interview of you, or maybe a recording of that interview should be published by the BBC?
This is the direction some of you are going.
There are good reasons for Denmark, Norway and other countries to prohibit the use of information gathered by an investigation body to be used for any other purpose than establishing the cause of an accident and preventing new accidents. The main one is to ensure that the reporters can be assured of some kind of protection. If not, there will be a marked drop in reporting, and this is not what we want.
Please read the ICAO Annex 13, it is available on the internet.
