I don't think it's a matter of policy, and I don't think -- if it's happened at all -- that it's happened a lot. But I don't doubt that it might have happened. Fahrenheit 911 introduced us to several proud american soldiers who got a major kick out of killing Iraqis and who thought that dead Iraqis were a hoot. It's no great stretch of the imagination to think that these fellows might shoot at a kid if they "knew" he was an enemy. War is grotesquely dehumanizing. Always is. And add to that the once-common notion that if you're working for bush you're working for Jesus, so everything's gotta be OK. This has been a vile, vile enterprise. There's not much I'll put past anybody.
