The other thing is the subsequent unwillingness of the military forces
to admit mistake. From the last sentence of the report in WikiLeaks,
it seems it was a "case dismissed":
"The military said the troops acted appropriately because the Reuters
employees were more likely mixed in with the enemy fighters and were
difficult to distinguish because of their equipment. "
Interesting take. The military is still holding Omar Khadr for killing a
medic who was "mixed in" with US troops.
Soldiers have hard decisions to make. Do they kill civilians in the name of
killing the enemy?
Do they let the enemy go because he is hiding amoungst civilian?
On way makes them look weak, I suppose, and the other way makes them look
evil.
They aren't going to win, no matter what.
