Episode notes
US Strike Killed Dozens At Converted School
- A Pentagon probe found a U.S. strike hit an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing about 175 people, mostly children.
- The strike used outdated DIA coordinates and satellite imagery showed the site had been converted to a school years earlier, causing catastrophic misidentification.
Kuwait Drone Strike Caused Far More US Injuries
- The March 1 Kuwaiti port drone strike that killed U.S. troops was worse than publicly disclosed, with dozens suffering brain trauma, burns, and at least one amputation.
- CBS reporting shows over 30 U.S. troops hospitalized, contradicting Pentagon's limited disclosures.
US Military Using Palantir AI For Targeting
- The Pentagon is using Palantir AI and similar targeting tools to pick targets in Iran, raising risks of automation errors in lethal decisions.
- Dave DeCamp highlights Israel's AI errors as precedent for overtrust and civilian harm when AI targeting is relied upon.
