Two judges, two former chiefs of staff and the state comptroller will comprise the inquiry commission which will examine what went wrong before the Yom Kippur War. The commission’s membership was announced last night by Supreme Court President Shimon Agranat who appointed himself chairman of the commission. The other judge is Supreme Court member Moshe Landau.
The two former chiefs of staff are Haim Laskov and Yigael Yadin. Yadin is the famous Massada archaeologist, and Laskov is at present the army’s ombudsman responsible for soldiers’ complaints against their officers. The fifth member is Dr. Yitzhak Nebenzahl who has been State Comptroller for more than a decade. The State Comptroller’s office is responsible for supervising good government and pointing out flaws or irregularities in national and local government departments.
