missturbation -> How? (3/16/2007 4:57:45 PM)
How on earth does something like this happen? http://uk.news.yahoo.com/16032007/344/friendly-fire-death-criminal.html http://uk.news.yahoo.com/15032007/140/chance-mr-president.html 11 Lines of blacked out communication between the controller and the air convoy. What is being hidden? Someone has to be held responsible for this surely?

I read that story earlier today, miss t. The information should be given to the coroner to complete the investigation. Is there a call for anyone in the British government to put more pressure on the situation? Dying by "friendly fire" is horrible enough. Not being forthcoming in the facts afterwards is adding injustice to already great suffering.

I was living in the UK (where is NorthernGent when you need him?) prior to the war and during. I seem to recall there was a great deal of trepidation on the part of many of the British soldiers about 'friendly fire' from the Americans... there was quite a lot about it in the press, at the time.

I don't know why you are so upset? Our President said "that he will do all that he could to help " For Christ sake without his assistance there might have been 15 lines blacked out from the US Friendly Fire Investigation Board Report given to the coroner!

More bad news about this situation. Makes me ashamed of my government! [&:] "US rejects ruling on UK soldier" "The US State Department has rejected a coroner's conclusion that the "friendly fire" death of a British soldier in Iraq was unlawful and a criminal act. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6459895.stm

I'm so hoping you are being sarcastic here. To help Bush needs to make available the 11 lines that were removed from the log.

Just to add i would feel the same way about this if it was Britain that had been guilty of this too.
