I heard on the radio that the widow, through her lawyer, has appealed to President Bush for full information on how her husband died. She knows already that he died on active service in face of the enemy. She knows that he died as the result of a tragic mis-identification, by a US pilot, of his vehicle as a hostile rocket launcher. She knows that the US pilot was distraught when he discovered the result of his error. What more could she reasonably want to know to achieve "closure" - whatever that is? (In most cases the grieving process lasts for many years, if not a lifetime).
To me there is a nasty smell of "no win no fee" representation. Her lawyer is trying to squeeze compensation out of the US Government, I think. What a precedent that would create if the boot were on the other foot!
