The U.S. military doesn't have an honest bone in its body when it comes to covering its ass.  Hopefully Doctors Without Borders can get an outside inquiry going.

I guess every single one of them was highly dyslexic and didn't realize it was an "X".

I doubt they actually care about "Brown" people.

Indeed, I heard that quote somewhere.

-- Samuel Johnson

Seems it was targeted after all. According to AP and the Guardian.

Quote:The special operations analysts had assembled a dossier that included maps with the hospital circled, along with indications that intelligence agencies were tracking the location of the Pakistani operative and activity reports based on overhead surveillance, according to a former intelligence official who is familiar with some of the documents describing the site. The intelligence suggested the hospital was being used as a Taliban command and control center and may have housed heavy weapons.

Why do they call it "intelligence" anyway? In the U.S.'s case, it usually appears to be anything but.
