When a rescue operation of a journalist happened in March of 2005, the US wasn't informed of it and when the rescuers tried to run a US checkpoint, they were fired upon. While I understand the anger and sadness of losing a friendly, you can't blame the soldier for firing upon the vehicle. How were they to know that they were friendlies? How could they not think that they were car bombers or something similarly sinister?
While any investigation by us into it will always be looked at with suspicion, the soldiers were found to have acted properly and cleared of any wrong doing. It's simply a matter of things that unfortunately happen in the fog of war.
