On the point: An investigation is only needed if there is a doubt

Baroness Tonge calling for an investigation implies that in her mind there is something to investigate. ie she believes that it is credible that the Israelis were out in Haiti, not to save lives as everyone else thinks, but to harvest organs.

To make a comparison, would it be a good idea to have the Liberal party investigate the claim that Baroness Tonge eats babies for breakfast? Surely it would <i>help</i> the Baroness to dispell any question as to whether these terrible accusations are true? She should welcome it - and if she doesn't that might imply a cover-up and a guilty conscience. Of course it would be necessary to interview all members of her household, bring in the UN, and film the baroness having breakfast for at least a year - but if it cleared up this foul accusation then it would be Liberal Party money well spent. No...?

who decides if there is doubt? 
 
In Britain that would be the police and then the Crown Prosecution Service. If they decide to investigate and then prosicute Jenny Tonge for eating babies for breakfast then I am sure the money is worth while, it would not be worthwhile for the liberal democrats as they dont have the relevent skills/authority. I imagine Haiti had something similar though whether it is functioning is another matter.

Yes, because... An investigation is only needed if there is a doubt

 

No, because...
