U.S. Says It Accidentally Killed 9 Iraqi Civilians

This is a story from the NYT, written by Solomon Moore and Qais Mizher. It is about a recent air strike gone wrong that resulted in the deaths of at least nine civilians. I thought it was an interesting article because it admits that the U.S. made a bad mistake. While we know it must be happening, we don't often see proof of it being published, especially through venues with such wide circulation like the NYT.
Also, note the picture included in the article. It shows one of the victims with a mourner. I thought it was sort of incredible that the picture ran with the story, as it shows most of the face. There are such strict regulations surrounding photos of American soldiers that it is an interesting contrast to note.
