Osprey Safety Investigation Stalls in Congress, Angering Gold Star Families

Congress' probe into the safety of the military's V-22 Osprey last summer following multiple deadly crashes has been stalled for nearly a year, angering Gold Star family members who lost loved ones aboard the aircraft.

A Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform panel held a hearing in June questioning Vice Adm. Carl Chebi, the head of Naval Air Systems Command, and other defense officials about the more than 50 service members’ lives claimed during training missions on the controversial tiltrotor aircraft.
 
At the end of that hearing, then-subcommittee chairman Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., disappointed in the lack of answers for grieving families in attendance, said: "I don't even want to drop this thing today." Nearly a year later, there's still no new information to report from Congress.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
