Answers and potential closure for the families? The truth?

Or maybe because morally it would be the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, by not conducting an inquiry it also feeds the conspiracy which will probably grow as a result of doing nothing.

I'm with Middlemore Road on this one. Shameful

Whoever was behind it probably later became an informer. The Troubles is a very murky period of history. While it is no comfort to the bereaved on both sides of the conflict, amnesia seems to be the price of peace.
