That's the question London's conservative Daily Telegraph newspaper isasking its readers in its current ''feedback'' poll. That's quite astonishing. The matter is worth exploring. NATO's pilots did not hit the wrong target. They were given the wrong target to hit.
War is indeed an inexact science.
Targets are misidentified in the heat of battle. But the idea that the intelligence community did not know the location of a major power's embassy is inconceivable. Whatever the reason, those responsible must be punished harshly. If there was some subtext to this tragedy then the operative charge is treason. If there was no underlying issue then the administration is at a minimum guilty of severely compromising the security of the country.
