Hopefully the lessons learned will prevent a repeat elsewhere in the future.

Would that were true Jim. I suspect that as usual, nothing will be learned and the same mistakes will be repeated ad nauseum. I hope not but I suspect the hope is forlorn.

Given the Australian Government's follow the leader attitude to both Iraq and Afghanistan I'm surprised we haven't had similar reports made public here yet.
