German media report today that the Dutch Safty Board heading the examination of the incident and authoring of the reports, has announced now
that they will not publish the content of the cockpit voice recordings.
A draft report is about to be released, but they said that that report will not publish important details . The final report now is said to be published within a year - but they have already said that in that report they too will refuse to publish any information that could accuse anyone.
Dear Dutch Safety Board - may I suggest you better skip those reports alltogether and instead use the paper for it to produce some rolls of toilet paper, branded
Anal Royal, maybe?
Moscow's reaction came promptly, accusing the Dutch of trying to disguise the way in which events unfolded, and claiming that Russian defence ministry possesses radar data from Russian airspace control showing Ukrainian combat airplanes in close vicinity to the Malaysian airplane.
Only one thing is clear. The West would love to use any smoking gun there is to discredit Russia. That it refuses to do so with the shooting down of MH17, cannot be explained with diplomatic hesitation or concerns to spill oil into the fire - the fire already is there, obviously. Sometimes the easiest explanation is most likely the true one. And the easiest explanation is that all information they have shows that it was not the Russians or separatists. Which narrows the number of suspects to just one of originally three.
