'Friendly Fire' Hearing Concludes

A hearing to determine if two American pilots will be court-martialed for dropping a bomb that killed four Canadian troops in Afghanistan has ended. Majs. Harry Schmidt and William Umbach now await a decision. NPR's Lynn Neary talks to Derek Stoffel of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who's been covering the hearing.
