#1 Deputy Coroner Andrew Walker is a political hack with delusions of grandeur.

#4 Lloyd and the three other ITN crew members were some of the few Western reporters who covered the fighting on their own...

#8 The UK is past saving. This is just one more corners inquest they have had that should have never been held. What business is it of a UK corner when a citizen of the UK is kikked abroad? The answer is zero most certainly.

#11 "I should have heard all evidence from the American personnel. I have not been able to call any evidence," Walker said.

No shit, Sherlock. You're a Deputy Coroner in England trying to charge U.S. soldiers with a 'crime' that occurred during a war in Iraq.

You might want to look up the words 'sovereignty' and 'jurisdiction' before you open your festering gob again.

Wanker.

#12 So he got shot in the head by small arms from an American Tank or Helicopter? So either a 7.62mm round or better? There wouldn't be much left of his head if that were the case.

#14 Happened in the land between two rives. The earliest known laws of the region were gathered in the Hammurabi codex---according to which, it's always lawful to kill pests, jaywakers and people who bear false witness. So there!
