NATO's military command seems to have let the cat out of the bag--all the talk about avoiding civilian casualties is exposed as hot air.Hell, they don't even call them "civilians," the preferred nomenclature for the bombers is "human shields!" K. Mickey

But we are not on the ground so we have no way of confirming civilian casualties, their number or why they were there in the first place." (snip)
