Why The Kovco Inquiry Findings Were Delayed
I've got a theory as to why the inquiry findings into the death of
Private Jake Kovco are not being released till next year. In both
Australia and the US sentiment against the war in Iraq has never been
higher, and the control of US Congress may be decided on this issue, as
it might in Australia next year.
The circumstances surrounding Kovco's death are being considered unfortunate by some and negligent by others. Testimonies have referred to the inappropriate cleaning up of evidence and confusion in details of evidence by comrades in close proximity. Then there's the accidental switching of bodies that led to the remains of a deceased Bosnian contractor being flown to Australia instead of the fallen soldier. That the information has been witheld in a case such as this, in which so many people are concerned as to what might have transpired, shows the concern of our military and government that the current political climate is considered inappropriate to divulging "sensitive" data, and also that the release of information regarding events of the war in Iraq in being very carefully controlled by military and government propagandists.
