Definitely bad stuff, and the revelation of the crime was inevitable via medical records, both in and out of military/government hands. Investigations were inevitable.

I can't help but think that hiding inhumane behavior behind the letter of the law, and refusing to look for it because looking is illegal, corrupts both the law and our humanity.

Some "need to know" information needs to be known.

By definition, Mary Anne, all "need to know" information needs to be known, simply because it "needs" to be known.
