'Friendly fire' video unearthed

The Sun newspaper says it has obtained the cockpit video at the centre of a row over the "friendly-fire" death of a British soldier in Iraq.
An inquest into the death of Lance Corporal of Horse Matty Hull, 25, from Berks, was adjourned after the coroner said the tape was central to the case.
The MoD said it was classified "secret" by the US, so could not be released.

And so they are hunting for the person who leaked the video to the press. Personaly I say they should give them an award, surely it can't be legal to hide one's blunders in war by declaring them"secret"...

Or is this something our military do all the time?

Time to own up to our mistakes, after all if they are genuine, then the parties involved can't realy be held responsible, after all, the fog of war should only allow for mistakes, not the covering of them up afterwards.
