It's a terrible indictment of British jurisprudence, that the trial transcripts of the Breaker Morant, et al, proceedings are still locked up and not available for public scrutiny.
I've watched the video more than a dozen times, and still get angry about the results.
It was a bit too late for Lord Kitchener to admit that he authorized killing of Boers wearing British uniforms, since the trial and sentencing was over and done with.
A former Editor of a local Toronto newspaper, the Toronto Sun, called "Breaker Morant" one of the most perfect productions that he had ever seen.
