...must be they figure they can minimize any mention of high-level command snafus.

Are the Canadian commanders being disciplined for not advising the proper authorities that they were staging a live-fire exercise? Just wondering. After all, this was the first error in the chain of events leading to the accident.

Fact is, there were a several little things that went wrong leading to 1 big one. When this thing first happened all Canada wanted these pilots to swing; now that the pilots are facing more appropriate charges (for violating rules of engagement, not murder), they seem to want to blame someone higher-up -- except I don't believe them. The real "game" here is the "Blame the US" game.

The Canadians DID inform the central command they were conducting the live fire drills (everyone has acknowleded this). The pilots SHOULD have known they were there. Whose fault? We'll know soon...
