Balen Report 

When discussing the ESC findings, why should the Balen report be discluded? This is highly pertinent as the indictment of Bowen came immediately off the heel of a House of Lords decision against the suppression by the BBC of a report on the exact same issue! The question at hand is whether or not these issues are related- and they certainly are. The Balen report is discussing the exact same issue as the ESC findings on Bowen, from the same time frame, from the same organization and from the very same area of reporting that Bowen is responsible! Please explain why these issues are so disparately connected as to go unmentioned in the findings on Bowen.
