For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I do not understand the rambling and incoherenty wording of your question. I do not understand the point that you are trying to make or to get clarified. You have provided a link to a news item which seems to be perfectly ordinary and reasonable. What is your question? What is your point? What is the "joke" to which you refer?
I am guessing his point is in reference to Ronnie Flanagan who was suspected of having a shoot to kill policy, of illtreating suspects in custody and also of having 'flawed judgement' over the Omagh Bomb inquiry.
I must confess that I really don't know much about the man other than a quick google search.
Yes Vic, it seems that Sir Ronnie as chief constable for the old RUC since 1996 and then of the PSNI is now well established as the public face of policing and used to the way views about the police of a divided community twist and turn. He also orchestrated the "Fundamental Review of Policing" in Northern Ireland.
Now, what you say may be true, and yes he spent 30-odd years going up the ranks to achieve his knighthood etc etc. But Zen, do you know anyone else with experience of reviewing the policing in such an anarchic state as Basra is at present?
How about Kim and Aggie go in for a massive clean up operation...? Now that would be a joke.
