“Interesting” theory. I have not seen any pictures of that actual roadblock yet, but it is not always obvious where you are supposed to stop. If the cover-up is not too big, we may learn something later today.

Cover-up? It has already been reported that the platoon leader's commander tore a strip out of the guy for not firing the warning shot early enough. "You f--ing killed a family" he supposedly said. That said I would still view this as an accident and one that quite likely was caused in part by what Geo suggested. Given the tactics used so far I for one am not in a postition to second guess the actions of troops in the field. The only way this could be considered a war crime is if you consider the whole conflict a war crime (which some obviously do)
