Killing 40 innocents in order to kill one guilty ...

[dogtag]

doesn't strike me as a particularly good bargain. Everyone
concerned says how sad they are that such a mistake was made.
But was it a mistake ? - I somehow doubt that. I suspect in the
rush to kill an important enemy not too much thought is given
to what may be nearby. Acceptable collateral damage.

I don't hold any brief for killing civilians, and this should be thoroughly investigated.

During the WW2 D-Day landings, the bombardment of coastal France killed up to 3000 civilians. At the time, the French people were glad the Allies finally came ashore.
