Doesn't the Army have any idea how bad this looks? 

Not releasing stuff that makes you look bad for "intelligence" reasons is the oldest trick in the book.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - The U.S. military on Wednesday said it would not release the findings of an investigation into an airstrike that killed nine Afghan children last year.

Spokesman Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty said an officer who led the probe concluded that the military followed "appropriate" rules of engagement and rules of war in the botched attack, for which its commanders quickly apologized.

But, he said, the report was classified as 'top secret' because of "the intelligence involved and the targeting involved."
