quote: "The legal framework is such that I am unable to comment on it at this point. Having said that, with regard to the incident itself, the journalist's death at the Palestine Hotel was a tragedy ," Lt-Col Venable said.
(My emphasis)For crying out loud! They toss that line around at every turn. It's like the magic word that cures all military mistakes. "Sorry. Can't talk about it because it might incriminate us. But we'll use this really nifty word (see bold print) and you should all then back the fxxK off and let us carry on the killing." I know... some would argue that the journalist knew what he was getting into when he headed there. But come on ... then there is this: quote: The US military found no fault or negligence on the part of its troops following a US inquiry into the shelling of the hotel.
Do they ever find fault??
