Replying to a message of Dan Ceppa to JOHN FITZGERALD:

Sort of like "We bombed the bridge, not the passenger train that was on the
bridge" (actually occurred in Serbia, there was a video from the camera in
the nose of the 'smart' bomb that clearly showed the passenger train right
at the point of impact).  A lot of the 'collateral' damage there and in Iraq
was intentional (electric plants and distribution systems, telephone exchanges,
water systems, etc.); note that attacks on civilians (un-embedded journalists
staying in a Baghdad hotel) and the intentional destruction of civilian targets
are war crimes.
