Photograph: Tim Ockenden/PA   She criticised the MoD's policy on disclosure of evidence at inquests into soldiers' deaths in Iraq, saying the ministry had delayed the release of documents, issued heavily redacted versions and "unnecessarily limited" the information given to Fusilier Gentle's family.

For once I am not complete in accord with the direction of the Coroners bile. The attack should be firmly directed at Parliament for its lamentable disregard for its duty to scrutinise the Government of the day.
How come, Rhodesia, with a tiny population, could provide the Army with some of the latest an innovative hardware to counter a massive incursion problem? The allowed the individual, with masses of experience of the problem, to provide solutions. And they did not allow people with no idea of the problem to prevent those who were fighting it, it interfere.
Can we expect this from the politicians in this country? Not a CHANCE IN HELL.
