The recent article by American Chronical makes couple of very valid points. Even though the AL is trying to help or pretend the BDR investigation is going on smoothly and without any influence, the public are in doubt about their true intentions. Specially about some unsolicited comments by Faruk and other government officials. If the government is truely incapable of giving a free and impartial investigation of this tragedy, may be they should resign and hand over the investigation to someone who is credible enough. May be the only impartial outcome we can expect is from the Army itself. I hope the government knows what its doing. The penchant for truth will not stop anyone and the truth will comeout today or tomorrow.
