French involvement in Rwandan Massacre?

The beeb is reporting that the Rwandan Justice Ministry has released a report accusing the French government of complicity in the 1994 genocide. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7542418.stm

All nations have questionable moments in their history, but the recent nature of this gives great cause for concern. The French foreign ministry are quite reasonably witholding comment until they study the report, but this provides a fine example of why our governments should be wary of international grandstanding and holier than thou pontificating of the type favoured by the Chirac administration at the UN.
