HRW debuts new Garlasco

Remember the Jerusalem Post report that Garlasco met with IDF General Meir Klifi and conceded some legitimacy to the IDF investigation? The latest reports on the pronouncements of Garlasco and HRW make it seem that it never happened. From the BBC:

A US-based human rights group has questioned an Israel army report that exonerated troops of killing eight Palestinian civilians on a Gaza beach.
"An investigation that refuses to look at contradictory evidence can hardly be credible," Human Rights Watch said.

Israeli investigators declined to inspect evidence gathered by other sources, saying it may have been faked.

The deaths on 9 June drew international condemnation. Militant group Hamas cancelled its informal truce.

"The [Israeli army's] partisan approach highlights the need for an independent, international investigation," said Marc Garlasco, senior military analyst at Human Rights Watch (HRW).
