I disagree.
They just had a plane and 239 people disappear on their watch. Despite the fact that no physical evidence has been found, the Malaysian President said the plane is destroyed and all the passengers are dead. A profoundly disturbing conclusion like this needs a better explanation than "oh some clever satellite guys in England worked it out."
They have a duty to explain this conclusion in excruciating detail, not just morally, but legally under agreements signed under the auspices of the ICAO.
Personally, I don't doubt the conclusion that the a/c is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but I am starting to doubt the Malaysian authorities competence and commitment to transparency in this investigation.
