Cluster bombs

'Still, I cannot find a way of justifying Israel's widespread use of cluster bombs, especially in the final days of the war.'

- writes Gene of Harry's Place, who is no Israel-basher. I read this shortly after being challenged by Mrs Cyrus to post on this topic. So, very simply: I agree with this and with everything else in Gene's post. Defending Israel against unfair criticism does not entail denying that any criticism is ever justified.
