Looks like The SUN has picked up on what was pointed out here yesterday, with its usual balanced perspective:

THE Pentagon stood accused of an alarming cover-up last night over hero soldier Matty Hull’s “friendly fire” death.

A senior American general in charge of a US probe into what went wrong recommended two airmen face court martial, The Sun can reveal.

But defence chiefs over-ruled his findings into the Iraq war tragedy to clear both A10 tankbuster pilots of any wrongdoing.

Wonder how they know that 'defence chiefs over-ruled' bit.

And the report certainly did NOT suggest that the airmen face court martial - merely that it should be 'considered'.

As ever with these things, its the cover-up that gets them.
