Britain's Defence Secretary now says he's "extremely sorry" for the death of a British tank commander after his government ordered him to return his body amor due to low supply. Sergeant Roberts' widow, who yesterday released tapes from her husband protesting the lack of suitable equipment, says an apology is not enough. Looks like the US government isn't the only one in the "coalition of the willing" with a narrow view of what it means to "support the troops."
