The coroner said the death was "entirely avoidable" and that the US pilots should have flown lower to confirm identities before opening fire. Thus, he opined, "I don't think this was a case of honest mistake… The attack on the convoy amounted to an assault… It was unlawful because there was no lawful reason for it and in that respect it was criminal."
Yeah, right.

Secondly, why wasn't the British detachment fitted with Blue Force Tracker? Then, at least, the FACs would have known exactly where the vehicles were.
On one thing we can agree, therefore, is the coroner's view that "…the full facts have not yet come to light." And nor are they likely to when you have grandstanding coroners who seem more concerned with headlines than the truth.
