Friendly fire death ruled unlawful
LONDON, England (CNN) -- A British coroner on Friday ruled that a U.S. "friendly fire" attack that killed a British soldier in Iraq was unlawful and criminal.
First off, it's terrible that a British soldier was killed in this accident. There's no question we appreciate their contribution to the War on Terror.
Now time for the rant. Since when was a coroner given the task of military investigator? I thought the purpose of a coroner was to find the cause of death and if it was natural, homicide, or questionable. It's apparent that this man has jumped over his job description as coroner, and into the role of international activist. This coroner obviously has no idea what his job entails, and therefore should be removed from his position.
