As good as it could get under the circumstances. Shame on the American Administration though for not allowing the full details to be considered.

In wars bad things happen. The Americans have the most military equipment, so deliver the most firepower. Naturally this means they will be responsible for the most friendly fire incidents. Those who use this case to make cheap comments about the American military are morons, and probably haven't been near a war zone in their lives.
So while not wishing to indulge in cheap Yank bashing my view on the Coroners case is that it has shown the American Government in a poor light. Their refusal to reveal even declassified information on the incident to the British investigation is regrettable and has shown poor faith with a country who, in Iraq as elsewhere, has shown themselves to be a reliable ally of the USA.

Trying to find out but did Matty do his drill inst course some years ago, he looks so familiar and whoever was part of his life was honoured...what a great guy.............RIP. The Verdict? Why does it have to be like this when someone passes to the other side..........it should have been known and all told to save his family the heartache along the way. Let the truth be known

This case will be in all the UK papers tomorrow. I wonder whether those "courageous" Yanks who killed the British troops (they imagined that Orange identification signs were Iraqi rockets!!!) will get any negative publicity in the States?
I doubt it.
Poorly trained"hillbilly" reservists from some National Guard I gather?
The US Government doesn't permit extradition even when the facts prove guilt, and still Blair "rolls over for Bush to tickle his tummy." I have no wish to crucify the Americans, but they must accept responsibility for this and all the other thoughtless incidents that are making this world unsafe.Power should bring responsibility but it seldom does.
The following will be in the Guardian tomorrow

The Crown Prosecution Service should now issue a warrant for the arrest and extradition of the American pilots so the case can be tried in the British courts. It won't happen, of course, as it would be too politically sensitive and yet another example of just how one-way the "special relationship" is.

i'd like to think that his death was accidental as i would hope that no-one in such a position of responsibility as flying a flighter jet would ever do something like that on purpose.
i feel bad for both the families of l/cpl hull and the pilots involved, and as i'm convinced it was an accident i'm sure the pilots feel awful about the whole thing too.
i feel that it is not criminal, but a tragic accident.

fair enough, but how exactly are the incompetent US army going to be brought to book on this one?
