12 Jan. Officers' Club Blog - Let’s Talk About Institutional Racism.

... OK, trust me on this, the Army is not “institutionally racist.” I think we should, however, be open to criticisms by coalition members on our handling of the situation. It seems to me, however, that just levelling the claim of RACIST! Does not move the discussion forward. Yes, we don’t all know Arabic. That, by itself apparently, suffices for “cultural insensitivity.” On the other hand, discussions like these probably need to be held.

The important factor here should be that we are constantly taking the advice of ground commanders, and updating our tactics, techniques, and procedures. Read the report for yourself- I think most of it is honest criticism. In summation, this has an upside and a downside, Al Jazeera will certainly blast the US ARMY RACIST SAYS BRIT GENERAL headline, but we will continue to adapt and adjust our tactics for victory.
