Lesson for inquiries

THE EDITOR: It is fitting that Mr Clinton Bernard’s hysterical utterances provided the opportune end to the Commi-ssion of Enquiry, since the last two days of the proceedings summed up in total what the enquiry was truly all about: Self-righteousness, gallerying and the defamation of the name and character of persons alive and dead — via the use of the media — with the full confidence that they could not be touched, as evidenced by the challenge “Sue me if you want.” What a pity. Please let us use this sad example for what must not be done for enquiries in the future. Let those in authority select objective persons who do not have an axe to grind and would be humble enough to be guided by experts, such as the Law Association, who voiced their displeasure of the proceedings from the very start.
