From: Norman Bassett, [EMAIL PROTECTED] There's a lot more than just "protecting minors" involved. Cullen repeatedly said that no minors had been sexually assaulted by Hamilton - so why would they need this kind of "protection"? Why can't they just be identified as "child A", "child B"? I understand Hamilton's firearms certificate file is not available to the public, or the pathologists' report. Does anyone know where Hamilton's idea of alternating FMJ and hollowpoint ammo comes from? Is this commonly taught in the US gun-training schools? Is this taught in UK police gun-training? Regards Norman Bassett drakenfels.org -- I don't think it has anything to do with that, would you want to be associated with a mass murderer? I do tend to agree they could just black out the names but presumably the circumstances related in the report would indicate who the children were. I was told specifically at the time, during the public inquiry as I recall, even before Cullen did it that the report would not be made public because of concerns about the children in Hughes' report. A lot of people asked about it including a lot of people from the media when the quotes from Det. Sgt. Hughes report were circulated and that's what we were told. Hamilton didn't only use FMJ and JHP, he also used semi-wadcutters as I recall. I have no idea why as it would be an invitation to the gun to jam (especially a stock Hi-Power). Perhaps he thought mixing the ammunition would produce at least some casualties given all the conflicting information in gun magazines. Who knows. Steve.
