Downtownat10, I read the story, and agree that it's not a warcrime. To me, it's not even questionable. You see, shooting civilians during a war is not wrong per se. It's only wrong when there's no danger, and no "reason" to fire.
In this case, the civilians were in a combat zone, some even helping the Iraqi soldiers.
Sorry, but I won't feel sorry for those people - they should have run away if they had the chance. If they didn't have a chance because Iraqi soldiers stopped them, the Iraqi soldiers are responsible, not the US guys.
