A court of inquiry is underused as a factfinding mechanism. A group of experts in the field is well suited to evaluate conduct. I am glad to see it. The Haditha cases could have used that.
What does this administrative action mean? After 15 months of shame for these Marines - another 'adminitrative action' is going to occur? Isn't this a bit of double jeopardy on part of the Marine Corps? Never cleared - always in question and now the public isn't going to know. Just the way that the Marine Corps wants it.
