    Stuff don't always do this sort of thing well but this isn't bad.
    However the one thing that is clear is that unnamed sources and hypothesis is a major part of the accusations in the publication.
    Until there is evidence of their claims (and I have seen absolutely no evidence yet, just hearsay) we should not have an investigation.
    As Johno has pointed out, if there has been a lie it was by the defence force and not the government but there is no clarity of any lies at all yet.
    If I were to write a book in which I postulated that Andrew Little is in fact a Russian citizen and spy and I did so with only opinion and no evidence would there be an inquiry? Of course not and so far neither should there be one here. Unfortunately there are sufficient unwashed in this country who want to believe anything that causes pain to "tall poppies" especially the talented ones. They should have their own party - Oh I think they have!
