 RCMP association questions probe

The RCMP members association is demanding the federal government redo its investigation into the Mayerthorpe killings, claiming that the probe that was done lacked independence.  The association is filing a formal complaint about the Mayerthorpe report prepared in February 2007 by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC).  The synopsis of events described in the HRSDC report mirrors almost word for word the synopsis in the RCMP report.  (CBC)
