Isreal announces investigation into Tom Hurndall's shooting

The Israeli Judge Advocate General has announced that there will be a military police investigation into the shooting of Tom Hurndall, the British ISM activist shot by the IDF in Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Tom was shot in the head while trying to protect of a group of children from Israeli fire.
One cannot help feeling a certain degree of cynicism as to whether it is at all likely that the investigation will come out with the truth. The official investigation iinto Rachel Corries' death cleared the driver of the bulldozer and the Israeli military of all responsibility. Since the beginning of the second intifada only 9 soldiers have been charged with illegal killings and not a single conviction has been obtained.
