For me the cost would be to great if this were to happen to my family.
"They attacked us just one day before Basra fell. They could have caught this man, not tried to kill him. Was it necessary to kill 20 people in our street for the sake of one bastard? "

Was the man they were "supposed" to catch and not kill, Just trying to catch them? or was he trying to KILL them? Easy to tell other people to put their life at risk. Tragedies happen....that is why the word exists. All I can say is that at least the US and British forces have gone further than anyother fighting forces in the history of man to avoid causing any more deaths than had to occur. (not to mention spent BILLIONS developing weapons that would allow them to avoid collateral damage)
Edit: As for better intelligence, I would be open to any suggestions you could make along these lines...seing as how the US spends hundreds of millions of dollars to get the best intelligence available....saying "so and so should have better intelligence" is pretty silly....like saying gee all those people should have known that the worst storm of the century was about to hit and prepared better.....
