more war crimes being commited

Iraqi and US special forces who raided a compound in Baghdad over the weekend did not know it contained a minaret and prayer room until they were inside, the US military chief said on Tuesday. The raid on Sunday, which freed an Iraqi hostage and left 16 Shiites dead, drew angry denunciations from Shiite political leaders who charged that unarmed worshippers were massacred in a prayer room of a mosque.

one really has to wonder how they missed a minaret
oh wait, it's a war crime for hitting a religious institution

Religious buildings are protected under the 1899 Hague Conventions and Article 52 of the first Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions.
oh wait, the geneva conventions don't apply to rumsfeld and his gestapo
