House inquiry worth the cost and the wait

After bravely and patiently watching for two days the second and third hearings of the House inquiry into the Mamasapano incident, I will say that the recent hearings are worth all the cost (probably millions because it features scores of congressmen and resource persons) and all the waiting (the inquiry was hurriedly aborted after just one chaotic hearing last February).

My prayer that the House inquiry could serve as the nation’s best hope for clarity and closure on this national tragedy appears to have been answered.
