The probe was instituted to find out if there had in fact been a massacre and, if so, whether anyone had tried to hush it up. On the first point, General Peers said that his findings "clearly established that a tragedy of major proportions occurred there." On the second: "Certain individuals, either wittingly or unwittingly, by their action suppressed information from being passed up the chain of command."
