Of course the Home Office would want to cover-up if the USAF servicemen commited such crimes in Britain.
Do you live in Britain or USA.
If it became known that it was USAF servicemen there would have been a HUGE outcry in Britain about it, the public would be demanding that the USAF base be closed, american military out of Britain AND this was all at around the time when Blair was supporting Bush's aggression against Iraq, and this was at a time when the public in Britain were not at all happy of Blair's supporting of the US.
If you read the facts of the case you will learn that Huntley should have won his case very easily.

Overwhelming evidence against him.
If there was a cover up the bodies would have been left in Huntleys property not next to the airfield.They have proved the location of the killing.
If a govt was to cover up someething it would be done more simply.Huntley would have been found died with a confession note.
When British police arrested Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr on suspicion of the abduction and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, they did so in the certain knowledge that absolutely no hard evidence existed incriminating either suspect. The reason for the rapid arrests on 17 August 2002 at first appeared disarmingly simple. Just hours earlier, two small bodies had been found near the perimeter fence at USAF Lakenheath in Cambridgeshire, England, and the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street was terrified of a massive political scandal involving American servicemen transiting through the United Kingdom.
To gain an international perspective on this politically sensitive scenario, try imagining what would happen if two little Australian girls were abducted, brutalized, murdered and then found near the perimeter wire of the American base at Pine Gap in the Australian Northern Territory. Within the hour, sensing possible danger for their political masters over in Washington, Prime Minister John Howard and Attorney General Daryl Williams would probably order the Australian Federal Police to charge some poor retarded sap in Geelong or Girrawheen with the offence. No evidence needed - just enough political deception to shift the public gaze away from the American presence.
This certainly appeared the most likely scenario when Huntley and Carr were first arrested in Cambridgeshire, but over the nine months that followed, it became increasingly obvious that this cover-up was a lot more than a hasty deflection for a perverted American with an unhealthy taste for underage English schoolgirls. Normally in a case like this, the false charges against Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr would have been dropped after about three months, with the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman remaining open for discreet inquiry at a more leisurely pace.

Hard proof that the monster or monsters who murdered Holly and Jessica might well reside inside the razor wire at USAF Lakenheath, was provided at a Courts Martial held on 23 July 2003. A military judge found against Technical Sergeant Randy Bitter on three charges of child sex abuse. Tech Sgt Bitter pleaded guilty to carnal knowledge with a female child under 12 years of age, and two counts of indecent acts with the same victim. He was sentenced to six years imprisonment with dishonorable discharge from the United States Air Force.

There you go this man was tried and convicted.So why cover up the fact he murdered two children.
Ian Huntley has also been investigated on ten occasions for rape,underage sex,indicent assualt and burglary.During the trial he claimed the girls died accidently knocked Holly into the bath whilst helpin to control a nose bleed.The jury returned a majority verdict. on both charges.The trial was open to the public and at no time did Mr Huntley state he hadn`t seen those girls that day and was not involved.He admitted the girls were in then house that day.He has since admitted he lied when giving evidence at his trial.In a tape conversation he stated to a relative that he killed her because she tried to make a mobile call for help.He had advanced from rape to murder to cover the crime that he had originally planed.This is well documented and studied trate of sex offenders that have been previously succesful.He has never stated he was set up.

How do you now who what where l am.
Info from govt sources are not allowed on this site so nobady of any importance can post actual facts realating to this or any other case that maybe secret or sensitive.
You get banned.
This is a disscussion stop with the insults just cause people disagree with you.We don`t all believe govt are corrupt to cover up every small obscure crime by members of friendly countries.
Several witnesses reported seeing the girls in Soham at the time that they are alleged to have died in Huntley's house, and there are doubts about the time that they actually disappeared from Soham.
The police charged Huntley with the murders six hours before the public found the bodies, and the Manchester United shirts which were found in one of his caretaker's bins were the basis of that charge and their prosecution, yet the shirts lacked any DNA from the victims' bodies. It is just as unlikely that the girls could have lived and died and their bodies begun to decompose in those shirts without leaving any DNA in them as it is that a local killer would fit himself up with forensic evidence for the police, or a trophy killer would use scissors and forensic technique to remove his trophies. The only logical explanation for this surely must be that the police had found the bodies before the public did, but couldn't use the original shirts because they were saturated with evidence that the girls had been buried underground, and so they had either bought new ones, or else laundered the originals.
“What we have is Ian Huntley was there because, found in the tucks of his trousers were seeds from plants that were in this forest. He could have got them from anywhere, they could have been planted. Then he supposedly takes these bodies to the USAF perimeter fence, he strips them of their clothes and pours petrol on them to burn them. Everybody knows that you would leave the clothes on to soak up the petrol and make the fire burn more. He then supposedly takes the clothes back to the school, he gets out a bin from underneath the stage, puts the clothes in the bin and sprinkles petrol on them and sets them alight waits until they're burned so far and puts the fire out with a hose. This is nonsense, obviosuly he was framed! We have the case of the lady who has tried to get a newspaper or to get any form of media to print her story. She walked her dog in that forest everyday for 2 weeks before Jessica and Holly were discovered. She said military police were blocking the road”
