Wonder if the justice department will go after this leaker?
I can understand why the soldiers did this. The murdered civilians probably didn't plant the bomb, but they also probably knew that the insurgents had put it there. They were probably sympathetic to the insurgency and were probably not sad to see the soldiers get hit. I bet they were scared though, as the bomb went off.
If I were a soldier, I would be frustrated and furious, and with the adrenaline pumping through my blood, it's not much of a stretch to take it to that next level, just to feel as though I was doing something to fight back.
I condemn the massacre for moral reasons. I also think it's a blunder that will only hurt us more. But this sort of thing is inevitable in a war.
