TORONTO - Two U.S. military pilots who bombed Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan won't be prosecuted.

Well, this comes as a big surprise to nobody. The fix was in on this case pretty much from the beginning - partially because of the frosty relationship between our two countries' leaders, and partially because the U.S. military has an appalling record when it comes to taking responsibility for misbehaviour by its members (remember that cable car in Italy?). That said, I'm going to hold off on going completely apeshit about this until I hear what disciplinary measures the U.S. military brass does chose to impose.
