Is the US Military targeting civilians?

Have you read about this?

If they are, there really is no difference between what we're doing and 911.

I'm really troubled by two things in particular:
Where is this video of the slain children?
Why is there not more independent investigation?

I'll echo what Hannah over at the Citybeat blog has to say on the matter:

I happened to catch a piece of morning deejay commentary on my way to work. Granted, it was 97.3 - not exactly high-brow political discussion, but I literally trembled at their dangerously one-sided take on this issue. They thought it in poor taste to so much as investigate soldiers' misuse of power in wartime (I personally don't want dust-settled mentality to rob offenders of the punishment they deserve - I say what better time than the present?). The radio personalities are also afraid that "these types of witch hunts" cause soldiers to hesitate before they shoot. Imagine that - a given choice to kill or not to kill. That's a luxury not afforded to unarmed civilians. I'm at a loss.
