We don't know shit about this war. We get reports like this all the time. We're probably using cluster bombs, we're kidnaping civilians and are torturing them. But how do we know for sure? I'm not in Iraq, and neither are you. We try to trust that the information we get is trustworthy, but we know it isn't. So how can you say, in all seriousness, that the use of napalm can't be covered up?
