Is this the way you GOP hoods treat your friends and allies? ____________________________________________________________ Friendly fire death ruled unlawful "The coroner said there were many errors that resulted in the incident which left four other British soldiers wounded. "Things were not checked, the coordinates were not checked, identification of the British armored convoy was not checked, and if this had been checked in such a way as the rules of engagement state that they should be, then this could have been entirely avoidable," he said. On Thursday, Hull's widow appealed to U.S. President George W. Bush to release the full text of a military report on the incident. (Full story) She said 11 lines of the U.S. military's Friendly Fire Investigation Board report into the incident had been blacked out in a copy supplied to the inquest. The Hull family says the deleted lines relate to an interview with the ground controller -- code-named Manila Hotel -- in charge of the two A-10 planes that attacked Hull's convoy. The coroner and the British government have repeatedly criticized the U.S. military for failing to cooperate with the inquest. U.S. officials declined to send the pilots involved to give evidence and refused to release a cockpit recording of the attack. In the tape, which was leaked to the press, the pilots' coordinators gave assurances there were no coalition forces in the area at the time. The pilots opened fire, but the error soon became obvious, and the pilots were informed that friendly units were in the area." cnn.com
