The Fog of War

No comfort here... but it's always better to know, than not to know.

-- MONTPELIER, Vt. -- Canadian Pte. Robert Costall and an American soldier were shot from behind by bursts from a machine-gun fired from a compound manned by U.S. special forces last year in Afghanistan during an insurgent attack, a U.S. army report says.

One account in the report says the gunner shot at two friendly positions in quick succession during the fierce battle early on March 29, 2006.

They will be remembered.
