Re: Useless bloody Americans!!!
The latest version from America says that it was US Special Forces who called in the attack not the Afghans. America is thus fully complicit in this War Crime. Also it seems they were not smart bombs but relatively low technology manually guided cannon though the aircraft itself would have had GPS.http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...-changes-again

Re: Useless bloody Americans!!!
I picked this up from your post PhilipM:"Mary Ellen O’Connell, a professor of international law at the University of Notre Dame, said that according to international humanitarian law, the critical question for determining if US forces committed a war crime was whether they had notified the hospital ahead of the strike if they understood the Taliban to be firing from the hospital."
I have heard it suggested that the hospital was deliberately sheltering Taliban, personally I doubt that: but no such warning appears to have been given.
I've always admired those brave people who work for MSF.

Re: Useless bloody Americans!!!
This is a bit off topic but this article made me smile about Americans and as an ex-pom now living Australia and having been to America a couple of times i would have to agree with most of it.http://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news...bUus?li=AA5afI
