Why is bombing civilians still a military tactic?

Phelan Johnson here, and I host a podcast about the legal cases that changed Canada. It's called See You in Court. And we've been working on a story about residential school survivor Willie Blackwater. At just thirteen, Willie held a knife to his rapist's throat. It was the first time he stood up to his abusers at residential school.

But it wasn't the last. And it leads Willie on a years-long quest to hold the church and government to account. The story of Willie's fight for justice is in your feeds this week wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas.

I'm Nala Aed. The bombing always comes as a shock. The convoy that turns out to be just a bunch of cars. The headquarters, that's actually an apartment building full of families. compound that's really just someone's home.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
