A story from 2003,related to this incident.

A sargent in the intelligence services spills all. She tells the story that the Palestine hotel was intentionally targeted and that Americans telephone calls were monitored during the war. check out the associated video and or transcript.

I wouldn't be able to handle my rage if a member of my family were killed. This is just too damned much!

I remember when it happened. I'd say just about everything is a target. War breaks things and hurts people. That's the reason citizens have to be so careful to support some politician's rush to war.

I don't believe there is anyone who Bush and Cheney wound not be willing to kill in order for them to control Iraq's oil wealth for themselves and their friends.
