    Damn. Crazy. I bet Iran just committed a war crime by targeting an Israel intelligence office.

    CNN did not, of course, vehemently denounce Israel’s use of civilians as “human shields” when it noted Mossad’s civilian-dense location. Because for CNN, like almost every Western media outlet, Israelis, unlike Palestinians, get to be human.

    Ain’t that the fucking truth.

    Incidentally, I remember the moderator at the VP debate on Tuesday insisting that Iran’s attack had been perfectly deflected by US / Israel anti-missile operations. Now, it appears that Iran wasn’t totally incompetent in their missile salvo but that actually this is bad because hitting your opponent’s civilian centered command office in a war is unsportsmanlike.
