Reuters: UK friendly-fire widow begs Bush for transcript

29 minutes ago

LONDON (Reuters) - The widow of a British soldier mistakenly killed
by a U.S. air strike in Iraq pleaded on Thursday for Washington to
declassify a page of a U.S. report into his death.

Widow Susan Hull said a single page of the transcript of the U.S.
inquiry into Hull's death had also been blacked out, and asked Bush
to release it before the inquest closed.

Speaking to reporters, she said she had met Bush in 2003.

"He asked me if there was anything he could help with and assured
me that he would do all he could to help. President Bush, this is the
last day you can help us. We ask that you give the coroner just one
single page," she said.

"To President Bush and the U.S. Government -- we implore you to
release the 11 lines and let the coroner have these today, so that
our family can feel more satisfied with the transparency of this
inquest."
