As the family of the 36-year-old raised concerns over the failed rescue mission which led to her death, David Cameron confirmed that Miss Norgrove may have died as a result of so-called 'friendly fire'.Good luck in pressing your demands, victim's parents.

@ akaGaGa: Posting about every government lie: wow, talk about a Sisyphean task! Makes me tired just thinking about it.
@ Mimi: It seems like I see so much of this stuff, it's easy to not make the effort to put myself into the shoes of those who got hurt directly. Thanks for the perspective-restorer.
