[Peace-discuss] Team America Kills Five Kids in Marja

[Robert Naiman]

"Civilian casualties are inevitable," said U.S. officials before
launching their weekend military assault on Marja in southern
Afghanistan, and in this case, they were telling the truth. Yesterday,
the New York Times reports, a U.S. rocket strike "hit a compound
crowded with Afghan civilians... killing at least 10 people, including
5 children."

What justification has been provided by the government of the United
States for its decision to kill these five children?
