No, I only have to know whether this is true:

"the majority of civilized peoples would consider organizing the deaths of innocent people amoral,"

and I feel certain that "organizing the deaths of innocent people" is considered immoral by the majority of civilized people.

I recognize that all people who wage war accept the concept, chilling as the very words are, of some 'collateral damage.'

The act under discussion was one in which the deaths of innocents were not a regrettable, and minimized, side effect of a military action. The death of innocents was the the object.

Such a situation is one which "the majority of civilized peoples" would consider not 'amoral,' but 'immoral.'

The terrorists presumably look at it strategically, and amorally.
