Episode Details

This episode traces the strange history of public commissions of inquiry — from medieval royal commissions to Britain's Tribunal of Inquiry Act, from the 9/11 Commission to Chilcot — and lands on Israel's unresolved struggle over an October 7th state commission. Why do governments resist the very inquiries they create? And what makes some commissions credible while others become whitewashes? Episode #587938 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/587938
