I came across an article from the Times of India with the interesting title of "Afghan war busts hi-tech war myth." In it it tells how Global Exchange cited over 800 civilian deaths in Afghanistan which they said was mostly due to misinformation sent to those who do the airstrikes.

It goes on to say that the Pentagon feels that ground troops could be more effective in this regard because they could see excactly what they are doing.

To me, Global Exchange just made the argument for the Pentagon to go in there with ground troops, rather than finding other alternatives to war.
