Looking into it

In 1998 the British Government announced a public inquiry into the Bloody Sunday incident of 1972. Since that time, the inquiry has costed the government over $290 MILLION, over half of which was spent directly on lawyers.

Results to date: We're still looking into it.

And, I have to ask, because I have to wonder: What in the hell is it they hope to determine? How is an inquiry lasting longer than a decade looking into events from over 30 years ago supposed to have any positive effect on anyone's life? Just take the $290 MILLION and divvy it up between all the British citizens (excluding the lawyers on the inquiry). I'll bet that would have a much more positive result.
