Meh, in any case - like a professional army does..they're investigating what doesn't meet their standards for conduct. That's what a legitimate authority does even when the actions of their members don't actually match the categorization as terrorism or barbarism. It's a higher standard than can be expected from actual terrorists, actual barbarians. You know the type.
Didn't really hit my surprise bells and I doubt it hits theirs either. We're dealing with people who learn to dehumanize as a part of their jobs, in a fundamentally dehumanizing situation. It's not surprising that they fail to see the humanity of a piece of prosthesis - they fail to see the humanity in humans too. Known known, that's the reason for the rules against it.
Sideline - do you think that australians doing that might help the people of afghanistan realize that their lives are worthless? Asking for a friend.
