"High Level Military Group (HLMG), made up of retired generals and defense officials from nine countries,"
Just the people to consult about the rights and wrongs of bombing civilians
General Klaus Dieter Naumann (NATO)
Deputy Chief
of Defence General Staff and President of the Italian Centre for High Defence Studies
was the principal attack planner for the Desert Storm coalition
air campaign in 1991
A former Chief of the Joint Staff and Chief of the
Strategic Analysis Group, he has also served as Director for
Reorganisation of the Spanish Intelligence Service.

Every single one of these "experts" are full time establishment military, many associated with a war which locks up terrorist "suspects" and leaves them untried, and locked up in Cuba year after year" - bit like asking General Haig's opinion on the rights and wrongs of WW1, doncha think Keith.
The laws ofd armed conflict (or humanity, for most of us Keith) does not allow for the blitzing of schools and hospitals on the unproven claims that they house terrorists, the use of anti-persdoell and chemical weapons in occupied areas and the mass destruction of homes, in some cases, with the occupants still in them.
I see othing here of the Israeli death squads who went around picking off survivors after their homes were destroyed or an explanation of why there were so many civilian deaths and casualties - missed those bits, did they.
I don't need "experts to tell me such behaviour is wrong, evil, inhuman and constitute Crimes against humanity - my upbringing tells me they are, and if I ever doubted that, I have the reports of human rights bodies to fall back on - never been an issue with you, have they Keith - leftie, bleeding hearts or some such?
