Coroner attacks ‘inexcusable’ US
A coroner has called it “inexcusable”
that US authorities failed to release evidence about the first UK casualties of
the Iraq war.
Yes, it was a CH-46
The petty beribboned cowards who place plausible infallibility above honor don’t really give a damn about our own troops in the field. Surely, no one expects them to care about servicemen from the Coalition of the Willing?
One more example:
A coroner has called it “inexcusable” that US authorities failed to release evidence about the first UK casualties of the Iraq war.
Andrew Walker was speaking at the reopening of an inquest into the fatal helicopter crash in March 2003. The eight servicemen died along with four US marines in Kuwait.
American authorities would not give evidence or provide relevant videotape to the court despite all efforts by the MoD, the coroner said.
Mr Walker said that despite “strenuous attempts by his office and the Ministry of Defence”, the US had again said it would not provide any American witnesses to give evidence at his hearing.
The evidence included infrared tape taken by the air mission command aircraft which he believed held radio transmissions before and after the crash. In addition, footage filmed by an embedded Fox News crew from Fox News was also being withheld, he added.
We are ruled by government and military bureaucrats who dedicate their energy to covering each other’s butt. Regardless of Constitutions. Regardless of law. Regardless of predictable political results - I hope.
