It does seem to indicate a certain contempt that USAFE refused to provide any information to the enquiry. And I doubt if an airliner infringed a military restricted area they'd say "...that's just the way it is". That said, it sounds more error chain than individual negligence.
The most worrying part though, is that it seems to have come as a big surprise to the exercise organisers that the airways( which hadn't been closed) had aircraft using them!
