I'm not so sure. How much discretion did that pilot have about firing? According to the article, he says he "thought" it "appeared" that it was a military column and that they "may" have been responsible for the burning houses? I think if I'm going to fire a missile at a convoy of living human beings I want to be damn sure what I'm shooting at. Listen, I know the military people are getting a lot of propaganda to help their psychology in battle, but the bottom line here is supposedly we have the technical ability to see target configurations to within something like 5". We're deliberately flying our planes so high that the pilots can't get a good look at what they're bombing. Again, so much for taking all necessary precautions to prevent "collateral damage". That is a lie. bp
