2. Example
As @ICRC explains, the presumption of civilian status is a part of binding laws of war. Isn’t it true that @DeptofDefense has highly anomalous view that considers this rule NOT part of binding laws of war? Does the US government as a whole agree with DoD’s position?

3. Who were the most senior DoD officials who authorized or signed off on the strike?
Before taking the strike, what did DoD estimate would be total number of civilian casualties killed?
What did DoD consider would have been acceptable level of civilian casualties?

4. Has DoD used its standard rule that places the burden on those who allege civilian casualties and requires proof by preponderance of evidence (more than 50% likelihood) that civilians were killed before DoD will even consider the reports credible for purpose of investigation?
