I have heard every bit of the news stories that some of you are saying were covered up by the US government on the major, minor, and alternative news programs. I have watched the briefings and when asked about these incidents at the briefings the officer in charge has said, " W have heard these reports but we can't confirm them at this time." Very often by the end of the press report the OIC has had them conformed or they are confirmed by the next news briefing.

The military has been very good about covering friendly fire and collateral damage reports as I watch the news. One pilot is not military policy, one loony Sargent with a hand grenade is not a wave of dissention in the ranks, one person with a placard, pro or con, is not the vanguard of public opinion.
