   Running investigations in a private, fact-centric way is unquestionably the right way to conduct a serious investigation.

It is unfortunate when claims are made by those who do not know what the committee has done, why it has done it, or the results of its work. We made a promise to the families about the integrity of this investigation, and no one on the majority side has forgotten it.
