Congress To Probe SEAL Chopper Crash -- The Hill 

Congress has launched an investigation of the helicopter crash that killed 30 Americans in Afghanistan, including members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team 6 unit, The Hill has learned.

The victims’ families say the Pentagon hasn’t provided answers to their many questions about the deadly attack, which took place on Aug. 6, 2011, three months after Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by Team 6 forces.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security, told The Hill, “We’re going to dive into this.”

Update: Expect congressional probe of crash that killed SEAL Team 6 members -- UPI  

My Comment: This is just another case where the White House does not want info released on how they handled a national security situation that resulted in the deaths of Americans. But this case is different .... mainly because of the numbers involved (30 were killed), and the fact that some family members have launched a lawsuit where even more info and details are expected to be released. As to what is my take .... the families have not been satisfied with the explanations that have been given to them so that they can at least have some sense of closure .... why this has not been done is beyond me.
