Thanks for the clarification. My humor was divorced from the reality of the tragedy, at least insofar as innocent civilians were concerned.

No worries. The title was misleading.

.......at least insofar as innocent civilians were concerned.......

they probably knew they were insurgents, therefore they were "not innocent" but part of the collateral damage. As long as the populace thinks that the deaths are associated with the taliban, then they are the ones with blood on their hands and that slowly turns the populace that the guerrillas hide into a hostile environment.

That's why the propaganda war is important.

The article doesn't state there WERE any 'innocent' civilians aboard either, but we know how easily they can be manufactured.
