I don't think it's a meta-argument to consider that maybe some rules were violated and maybe, as such, there should be some accountability.
Very few of us have made calls for any kind of punitive action barring evidence of obvious war crimes, which is not the impression I came away with.
And as for those people on the street and in the van, no one here has a damn idea what they were doing or what they were thinking either. It's kind of funny how easily their motivations and judgement are called to account in a 'war zone.' Give me a break.
