It is sad that enemy soldiers choose to camp among the civilian population who supports them, attempting to make an unclear target.

So this killing is ok, but our "torture" is something that we talk about daily almost and act as if those who ordered it, legalized it, carried it out, are demons of some sort.
Viewing innocent citizens as "collateral to the intended mission.", makes me wonder about what we should call those we "tortured"..those who have already killed, planned killings, and threatened to kill.
This is not a defense of, excuse for any inhumane behavior...simply wondering how one who is so violently opposed to what is called "torture" can simply pass off the KILLINGS as "collateral" (and not talking specifically of you YODA...simply borrowed your term)
