American soldiers cleared of any wrongdoing

at this point, in our low ebb as a country, yet another announcement of "not culpable" feels like extreme arrogance... i am the last one to wish guilt and punishment on anyone, particularly if it's not deserved but, my golly, this kind of thing, when it happens over and over again, sure looks bad...

US troops cleared over shooting
Nicola Calipari was killed by US forces as he travelled in a car near Baghdad airport after securing the release of Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena.

Ms Sgrena, who had been held by Iraqi kidnappers, was hurt in the incident.

The US soldiers were "not culpable" according to the US military report, which Italy has refused to endorse.
