A Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital was bombed by the US. Result, 12 dead staff members and 10 dead patients. The coordinates of the hospital had been communicated to the US forces before to avoid mistakes. The US admits the attack was a decision. MSF is now seeking an independent inquiry.

Shooting an enemy combatant is not the same as beheading children or literally lighting people on fire just to watch them burn. Why are there so many terrorist apologists here?
