Hoon resignation demands rejected
BBC NEWS | Politics | Hoon resignation demands rejected:
"But Defence Minister Ivor Caplin said an inquiry was under way into the death and it was not a resignation issue."
Hmmm, maybe it's not up to him to decide? It was certainly a death issue.
"The problem was 'the odd glitch or shortcoming in our processes', he said. "
I doubt very much is his widow would call it that. A man died, hardly a 'glitch'.
