Yes I hear that but answer the question specifically if you can.  Having made the assessment, as you've now conceded that possibility existed and there were precautions to minimise the casualty figure among civilians and there by civilians I include people from all walks of life not related to the army or police, private people who went to the Court for business or they were called there, were those people simply expendable in the overall objective of the operation.  In other words if those people, despite the precautions, were in fact killed or injured, they were simply casualties of war, they were expendable.  Is that how you saw it?
