BELLESILES UPDATE: The History News Network reports that the investigation is complete:

HNN has been told that that the independent panel appointed by Emory University to investigate Michael Bellesiles’s Arming America has finished its report and submitted it.

The university told HNN that it will not have a comment “until the end of the summer.”

Mr. Bellesiles has declined to comment.

The names of the panel members are secret. The university has indicated that it may never reveal their names even after the report is made public.

Now that’s a real confidence-builder.
