The Dutch investigation into the shooting down of the Malaysian airliner is due on Tuesday.

The investigation team consists of 24 investigators with members from Ukraine, Malaysia, Australia, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia. In addition to the international accident investigation, the selection of the flight route will also be independently investigated by the Dutch Safety Board (DSB). The National Bureau of Air Accidents Investigation of Ukraine (NBAAI) had requested that the DSB participate in the international investigation; the DSB received formal notice of the accident from the NBAAI on 18 July. The NBAAI, which led an international off- and on-site investigation during the first days after the crash, delegated the investigation to the DSB because of the large number of Dutch passengers and the fact that the flight originated in Amsterdam.

Of course, it is 'old news' now but perhaps it will bring some closure for friends and family of those who died. Apparently, a criminal investigation will continue for many more months.

2. When it comes out, I'm expecting a full retraction and apology

from Robert Parry, specific unnamed DUers and the other nutbars shrieking for months that the U.S. was either responsible, or trying to 'frame' Russia for the shootdown...

I've had about enough of the Kremlin admiration society here on DU
