Y'know, it'd be nice if for once people could refrain from knee-jerk partisan reactions and act like adults.
All you lefties - is it possible that the military just...made a mistake? No conspiracy, no propaganda, just garden variety SNAFU? Differing reports by witnesses in a tense, complex situation?
And for the righties: is it possible that our government might have been a teeensie bit red-faced that one of its poster boys was killed in an embarassing friendly-fire fuckup and did everything they could to keep it hushed up for as long as they could?
As it is, I don't see this thread being anything more than a rorschach test for your existing biases, and if you don't start injecting some thought and compassion into this thread instead of the usual sarcasm and bitter bile, I see no reason to leave it open.
