The original Military Secrets package consisted of separate sections that told the stories of the accused and their accusers. The stories also provided detailed information and statistics about that particular type of crime. In order to adapt the package for the web, the designers were forced to exclude some of this information from the online edition. Thus, we have provided the full-text original version for the more detailed reader to use.
