It's ok because we were aiming at 'al-Qaeda'?

The New York Times reports: "American forces said Sunday that they had accidentally killed nine Iraqi civilians and wounded three in a strike aimed at militants of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia south of Baghdad, acknowledging what appeared to be one of the deadliest cases of mistaken identity in recent weeks." Also, interesting piece in the Times on a document posted at the wonderfully-titled Wikileaks site that reveals a U.S. policy for "hot pursuit" of Iraqi insurgents across the border into Iran and Syria. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/04/world/middleeast/04iraq.html?hp
