I associate myself with Mr. Harris' comments. It is incumbent upon the government to show an overwhelming basis for the justification for potential interference in any kind of police investigation. The burden is entirely on the government to justify this, and in my mind, they have not done that. In fact, the evidence has been to the contrary by former and current provost marshals, and I take this as a step backwards. I can virtually guarantee that this will be challenged at some point or another in circumstances that will not be favourable to the government, and therefore will compromise a proper investigation and possibly even proper convictions.
So I don't think the government has met the burden of proof, and as I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
