This Useless "war Crime" Inquiry (Commentary‪)‬

WITH THE RETURN OF PARLIAMENT from prorogation, the inquiry into alleged Afghanistan war crimes was resurrected. Yet no successful prosecution will result from the inquiry even if the worst of the allegations prove true, so why keep it going? Not being one who believes that political hygiene motivates those pressing the inquiry, I divide those interested in keeping it going into two groups, whose membership overlaps. One group is motivated to inflict pain upon those in office; the other in gaining readership through sensationalism. The one outcome that neither group cares a fig about is inflaming the enemy into greater resistance to us.
