The new Seton Hall group's report isn't very good. Ironically, given the title (DOD Contradicts DOD), it often doesn't match their own first report, which was more carefully done.
"The Center for Policy and Research Report shows that each of the cell block guards on duty that night gave two statements, and the first statement for each is missing. The only statements from the guards in the NCIS report were made only after those guards had been threatened with prosecution because of the contents of their previous—and now missing—statements."
According to the Seton Hall group's first report, the reports of the earlier (June 10th) interviews, from before they were warned about suspicion of false statements, are right where they're supposed to be. Check page A-3 of the first Seton Hall report, and you'll see them listed with the page numbers from the NCIS master file. Those pages are reproduced in either the NCIS pdf file or the CITF pdf file. I've seen them; they plainly aren't missing.
"Everyone on duty that night, in addition the Alpha Block guards, was ordered to write sworn statements as soon as the detainees were declared dead. And every one of those statements is missing."
The Seton Hall group's first report says, "The SOPs require all personnel involved in incidents to write sworn statements (DA 2823 form). Initially, some of those involved in the incident were asked to do so. No sworn statements were available for the NCIS investigators, however, because personnel were then ordered to stop writing them" (49). One of the guards explained he was told to give a statement directly to the NCIS instead. (NCIS 944) We don't know how many of the 2823 forms were completed; I've only seen reference to one completed one. I agree with the implication that any completed ones should have been kept with the investigative materials, but it's not quite like the press release makes it appear.
I thought the first Seton Hall group report was very useful, but the new one is too careless and misleading. I've got some harsh comments about its main findings about ten posts down at this link (where I've collected a bunch of info in response to Horton et al):
