From Russell Willmoth
Andrew Brookes says that a machine that chooses its own target “would have to
tell if a truckload of nuns was about to cross a bridge before blowing it up”
(13 October, p 4).
And later in the same article, you state that according to the Geneva Convention if a
weapon cannot make this distinction it is illegal.
Can someone please explain how a cruise missile, fired from a distance of
5000 kilometres, or a bomber at 12,000 metres, can detect a bunch of nuns
crossing a bridge at night?
