• Some of those killed or injured were clearly fleeing or going to help those injured or dying
• None of the casualties was posing a threat or doing anything that would justify their shooting
• The events of Bloody Sunday were not justified
• Many of the soldiers lied about their actions

The problem with this is that there is no guarantee it will heal wounds, but may reopen them. I can not know how accurate the report is, but I do know soldiers will make mistakes, we are all only human after all. But the forces weren't there to kill the innocent, not like the terrorists were happy to do. They were there to try to restore peace and prevent abuse of one community by another.

Let us hope this is an end to the matter after all, since the time taken and the cost is hopelessly out of proportion to what it can achieve.
