#1 I guess it wasn't important to criticize the Jihadists for putting civilians into the line of NATO fire.

HRW and ICRC are useless and corrupt.

#2 One shouldn't expect much more from HRW than anti-US and objectively pro-fascist carping, but the collapse of the ICRC's credibility I find to be one of the most troubling examples of international insanity since 9/11.

#3 The International Committee of the Red Cross, despite the many earnest and hard working volunteers across geography and time, have been suspect since the late 1930s, when they refused at each opportunity to condemn the Nazi practice of herding a variety of their citizens into death camps. Unfortunately, the ICRC has long been an advocate for "our kind of people", and merely the deliverer of care packages in the general direction of those other poor unfortunates.
