Pales in comparison to what is being done to the Iraqis but really, what the hell is wrong with the US Army? This is how they treat their "allies"? Don't answer... I can't believe that no officer or NCO in the entire convoy reported this. We're becoming very... German... nobody seeing or remembering anything... even when our "friends" are involved.

The US Army claims no record of the incident, despite a British report naming the US unit and driver involved.

He said:
"This is a unique case and so far the Americans have made no effort to look at this properly, or even look at the information we have given them. (snip)
"The main claim of the Americans is that they have no record of the incident. But do they think the British just made up the name of a tank driver and the name of the regiment carrying the tank?
"This convoy must have been going from somewhere, to somewhere." A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said:
"Clearly, the Service Police Traffic Accident Report made at the time is an official document and, if submitted in evidence, would speak for itself." Lt Col Steven Boylan, director of the US Army's combined press information centre in Baghdad, told BBC News:
"We have no record of this event happening.
"It was a long time ago and there is no-one here now who was there at that time.
"In any event, we do not comment on ongoing cases which are the subject of litigation." A simulated reconstruction of the crash has been created
