I find it difficult to sympathise with those killed in this incident. They
were obviously celebrating the deaths of Americans and, therefore, were no
longer "innocent bystanders."

They weren't "innocent bystanders" by any stretch of the imagination. They were
supporters of Abu al-Zarqawi who were hoisting his battle flag over their
"accomplishment" of knocking out a Bradley. SEE the pics:

Looks like someone was getting real time photo recon of the monkey dance going
on around the Bradley and, when they saw Zarqawi supporters there, ordered up a
rocket hit to police them up.

Zarqawi IS the face of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and it IS open season on Al-Qaeda.
Sorry about any collateral damage, but don't stand next to those Al-Qaeda guys.
They're targets anywhere, anytime.
