...admission or apology from the Administration in its waning days, and the Pentagon's attitude toward the civilian casualties caused by its troops leaves a lot to be desired. Without actively seeking moral (and legal) accountability, both retrospectively and looking to the future, America will never regain the trust and authority it has lost. Barry Meggs, DUBLIN...
