@eliasisquith But even at that, is there a distinction between doing it deliberately but thinking it was a Taliban-run hospital vs MSF?...
@DanaHoule Which is why it is unreasonable to always assume such war crimes are accidents. Recent Afgh history says otherwise @eliasisquith

@emptywheel@eliasisquith But it’s wrong to assume they can’t be both an accident AND a war crime. This seems likely to be both. -
@DanaHoule No. The evidence right now doesn't suggest it's likely to be both. It's unclear, but likely is far too strong.@eliasisquith -
@emptywheel@eliasisquith So you think the US military at all levels knew it was attacking an MSF hospital? -
@DanaHoule You're moving goalpost. If people knowingly attacked a hospital is was in no way an accident.@eliasisquith -
@emptywheel@eliasisquith …Taliban-run hospital vs a MSF-run hospital, said both are wrong, but there’s still a relevant distinction -
@DanaHoule Liaison officers called hospital on day ranking T arrived & said, "have you been overrun by Taliban?" MSF: "No."@eliasisquith -
@emptywheel@eliasisquith Do you think there was a decision by anyone outside Afghanistan to attack a facility they knew was run by MSF? -
@DanaHoule Do I think Barack Obama knew we were bombing hospital? No. Gen Campell? No. They're not in that level of decision.@eliasisquith - 5 more replies
