I was pretty sickened to read this from one of the few journalists in Baghdad actually doing his job.
Two missiles from an American jet killed them all – by my estimate, more than 20 Iraqi civilians, torn to pieces before they could be ‘liberated’ by the nation that destroyed their lives. Who dares, I ask myself, to call this ‘collateral damage’?
This isn’t a game, dammit. There are real people getting killed. Innocent people like you and me whose only crime was being in the path of an errant missile.
There is no justification for this whatsoever. None. No one will ever adequately explain to me the need for this murder.
