The few words that really matter about the killing of Mr de Menezes are that SEVEN dum dum bullets were pumped into him by a specially trained firearms officer of the Metropolitan Police.
Such an officer knows very well that ONE such bullet in the head is enough to kill. To use SEVEN is the action of a person who is out of control. Explanations, communications errors, reports, prosecutions & all the rest of the torrent of words about this case merely serve to obscure this simple fact and provide a reason for not dealing properly with the officer concerned. Sir Ian Blair should resign because of his failure to recognise the simplicity of this situation. Loyalty to ones staff is admirable but sometimes, as here, is misplaced.
