DoD's New Action Plan Is Not Going to Reopen Past Incidents of Civilian Casualties

Department spokesperson the plan also will not involve reopening past cases in which civilian casualties were confirmed. The agency will however continue its policy of reviewing cases if new evidence emerges. Outside groups focused on preventing civilian casualties said they were disappointed with the decision. They have long urged the Pentagon to provide better accounting of the incidents many of which they say were improperly dealt with or or just dismissed outright.
