you do know that AIB results (unlike SIB reports) are public information.

.6/11/2012 - SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- Air Mobility Command released the results of its investigation into the Jan. 23, 2012, mishap involving a C-17A Globemaster III that landed at Forward Operating Base Shank, Afghanistan.The Accident Investigation Board, convened by AMC, found that the cause of the mishap was the pilot and co-pilot failed to identify that the landing distance required to safely stop the aircraft exceeded the runway length. Additionally, the AIB president found that the failure to assess runway conditions for fixed wing operations at FOB Shank substantially contributed to the mishap.
The aircraft landed on a runway at FOB Shank, where the C-17A was unable to stop, departed the prepared runway surface, struck an embankment, and came to rest approximately 700 feet from the end of the runway. The aircraft sustained damage to the landing gear, cargo floor, undercarriage, antennas, and main structural components. There were no passengers, fatalities, significant injuries, or damage to civilian or other military property. The estimated cost to repair the C-17A is $69.4 million.
The mishap occurred as the C-17A was landing at FOB Shank during a combat airlift mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

I'm assuming AIBs are the equivalent to Navy/USMC JAGMAN investigations whereas SIBs are teh equivalent to AMB (Aviation Mishap Board) which are non punitive generally and only used to determine cause and future prevention etc? JAGMANs, to my knowledge, have always been a matter of public record and as such are subject to FOIA requests.
