It does look like there were some major gaps in the earlier investigations, which were not criminal investigations incidentally.

General Pace indicated that apparently the earlier investigations had not looked into whether negligent homicide had occurred, and that is exactly the first place that you would look in a case like this. It's quite baffling that it took this long to focus on that question.

There have been more than 600 criminal investigations into allegations of detainee mistreatment, and there have been more than 200 people held accountable for misconduct.

I don't want any political interference in criminal investigations by prosecutors.

How do you get there from here? They haven't persuaded me that this is valid, ... You have to have a disruption of civil authority before the military can perform activities such as surveillance.

at least provides some judicial review.
