Human Rights Watch report on Iraq war
The good [U.S.]:
The organization gives good marks to the U.S. military which made an effort to minimize damage to civilians and non-military buildings across Iraq.
The bad [U.S.]:
Thousands of civilian deaths during the war in Iraq could have been avoided if the U.S. military did not use cluster bombs, and if it used better intelligence methods to target senior Iraqi leaders in "decapitation" strikes.
The ugly [Iraq]:
Human Rights Watch documented instances of abuse of the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems; violations of the prohibitions on the use of civilian shields, use of antipersonnel landmines, and location of military objects in protected places, such as hospitals, mosques and cultural property sites. ... Witnesses also reported large numbers of Iraqi soldiers wearing civilian clothes.
