"Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles De Menzes", looks like an expose but fails to truly address the elephant in the living room.
Yes, the UK polices actions in 2005 after the suicide bombings, were inept and heavy handed. Yes, a wholly innocent person died. What's not adequately addressed, in my opinion, is the role of the UK political establishment in this affair.
The UK has a long and bloody history of wars and death. From places like Iraq, Afghanistan to Libya, the UK has left a horrific trail, of destruction. Whilst this may not justify suicide bombings, it certainly helps, in no small way, to explain them.
Its a shame, the important role played by the UK political establishment, in this tragic tale, has been largely overlooked.
In summary, a rather myopic examination of the 2005 suicide bombings, in the UK and their aftermath. A watch limited by its own scope.
