Kebba,

Thanks for the thoughtful inputs.
My observations of this whole commission thing gives a similar conclusion.
It's just another foot dragging ploy. The round-about nature of the
proceedings is very discouraging. I'm not the least happy to make this
conclusion but it is highly likely that very little will come out this whole
thing.
A commission that has very little powers to prosecute anyone who gives a
false testimony should not expect to get to the truth. They can call upon
the very soldier/police who is witnessed shooting at the kids only to get a
filthy lie from them, since they are well aware that they can lie and get
away with it.
I agree with you that the commission will only succeed in helping those with
bloody hands to have enough time to clean up the mess. One would think that
by now a public prosecutor is appointed and that he/she is well into the
process of bringing in all those reported to have been on duty at the time
of the shootings.
Sixty days after the brutal slaying of 14 or more innocent school children,
no one is arrested! I find it hard to imagine this is happening. This only
goes to show how messed up our judicial system is.
We must not sit and watch those precious lives cut short in vain. All those
responsible must be brought to justice immediately. It should not take a
million dollar, ninety day clown commission to establish that the innocent
kids were killed by arrogant irresponsible law enforcement officers.
