Reference: US air strike a result of misleading intelligence, Bangkok Post, September 15, 2008

A US missile attack in Afghanistan that killed 90 unarmed civilians in Azizabad in August of 2008 is now being defended by pleading guilty to the greater sin that the American forces had allowed themselves to be used as pawns in clan warfare among the locals (US air strike a result of misleading intelligence, Bangkok Post, September 15, 2008). The naivete of forces armed to the teeth of billions of dollars of killing machines, thus revealed, poses a greater danger to the region than just plain incompetence in target selection.
