First of all, I'm not directing the ombudsman to conduct investigations. I advised him of where he could go for that information. In fact, it is actually clearly stated in his own directives what the ombudsman can do. For example, the ombudsman can get advice from the judge advocate general, can go to the provost marshal and can also go to the independent police. If you'd like, I could have my JAG here to explain that information to you.
