"The principle of discrimination means that one may not licitly make attacks in which noncombatants are directly intended to be killed" The words "directly" and "intended" are critical. However, before we can even discuss these concepts, we

Municipalities are now exploring providing their residents with free Internet access. Towns such as Austin, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.
