I don't know how some people would feel about this, but I think it is wrong. I can understand the family and British government having a right to see this video. But having this released or being leaked to the MSM is tasteless.
We can be sure this video will be played over and over again by the MSM. It was reported in the USA Today -
LONDON (AP) — The United States has agreed to release a classified cockpit video showing the dismayed reaction of two American pilots after they killed a British soldier during a friendly fire incident in Iraq, a spokesman for the coroner said Tuesday.
In the video, a U.S. pilot is heard saying "I'm going to be sick," then "we're in jail, dude," after firing on the British convoy in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on March 28, 2003. Lance Cpl. Matty Hull was killed.
The U.S. military had previously refused to release the video..... The video was leaked and published Tuesday by The Sun newspaper.
The Pentagon, said the U.S. military's own investigation concluded that the firing was accidental; that the pilots "followed the procedures and processes for engaging targets," and that as a result no disciplinary action was taken against them.
The pilot can be heard in the cockpit trying to establish whether targets on the ground are coalition forces or insurgents. Two U.S. A-10 jets allegedly opened fire on Hull's tank, which was part of five-vehicle convoy....
The transcript printed in The Sun records the alleged exchange between the pilots after they realize what has happened.
The other pilot then weeps, according to the transcripts. More...Pilot 1: "I'm going to be sick."
Pilot 2: "Ah f—-."
Pilot 1: "Did you hear?"
Pilot 2: "Yeah, this sucks."
Pilot 1: "We're in jail, dude."
