MR LAX
Just two things, Mr Basson.  The first is that whatever the Generals or the Ministers may have said or decided at whatever point in history, is totally irrelevant to us here in this inquiry.  You're not bound by any such policy.  You have a duty to make whatever full disclosure is required of you and if they have told you to keep quiet, that's irrelevant here.  And if your decision not to disclose information is based on any such perceived obligation, that's of no relevance to us.  So whatever decision you make, that's on your own head in that regard, but you're not obliged by that policy or duty that they may have determined for you.
