"The fact that the US is not interested in sharing info and is protecting those soldiers from nonbiased investigation (third party), pretty well shows something isn't completely Kosher. Its like us saying our mice didn't eat the cheese because as we know all US mice would never do such a thing, and anyway we asked them and they said they didn't."
What probably happened is some soldier f***ed up, and now hes getting off with a slap on the wrist for his actions, but letting the US war hating world throw the book at a nervous teenager with a rifle thousands of miles away from home wouldn't be right either.
Their job is probably more nerve wrecking than we can even imagine, and while many people would be capable of giving the soldier understanding, given his situation, if the government admited it was an accident, others would ask for blood. The army knew this, and thus had to transfer blame to the Italians, because people in our mass media society can't accept that people in the government are people to, and can make mistakes worthy of forgiveness.
