Cluster bombs: not a war crime, just a "mistake"
So says Shimon Peres, Israel's Deputy Prime Minister, to Al Jazeera:
"To be short and clear, we committed a mistake, regrettably."You know how that goes. You go online to order some more weapons, click the wrong button, and before you know it you've got a hundred thousand cluster bombs on your hands. Then some supply clerk puts a form in the wrong file, and before you know it they're being dropped on another country.
Ri-i-i-i-ight.
