http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6334769.stm - article on tape release.

There are more on the BBC site, and I guess other news sites will have them as well.

There's nothing new in this. Americans shooting Americans, Brits shooting Brits, us shooting each other. Mistakes happen. People, and techonolgy, are fallible.
I guess my question would be, what's the point of this topic?

I saw the video. These days it's very rare compared to all previous wars. The pilots obviously made a mistake, so it's not like someone in our military just doesn't like the Brits.

You're expecting perfection. So no, it can't be obliterated completely. Though as Kyle said, it has been reduced greatly.
