What happened to the Brits south of Basra on March 28, 2003 was an absolute tragedy. Something went wrong, some A-10 pilots misidentified their convoy in the heat of battle, and a brave young British Lance Corporal Matt Hull was tragically killed.

There's nothing one can say to truly justify this, no matter how accurate it may be. The 'Fog of War' is a terrible thing that has unnecessarily killed far too many people since the beginning of time, and this is no different.

My concern today is with the leaking of the video to the press. Classified means Classified, no matter what the information is. When I first heard of the leaked video I thought that someone was going to fry for letting this out. Who in their right mind would break their oath and hand this to a reporter?

After reading further into the story, it's clear that nobody in the US Air Force released this to the press. Instead, it was most likely someone on the British side who took part in the investigation and got fed up with the Pentagon's refusal to make the tape public. I doubt anyone can be prosecuted for releasing it since they're British, and I know our nations are too close to try and place limits on our information sharing after this. There are bigger things to deal with in the world right now.

Of course those who are against the war will replay the video over and over again, using this tragedy as an excuse for the Brits to withdrawal from this evil Bush war. Ignoring the obvious pain they'll inflict on an already devastated Hull family, this video will now be placed in the grand library of anti-war socialist propaganda, to be used and abuse for years to come.

And as always, the real tragedy that day will be forever lost in the fog of anti-war ignorance.
