Way Off The Mark

(3 of 3)
U.S. officials have apologized for the deaths of the children and promise full investigations of the circumstances. But that doesn't address the larger problem of how to gather intelligence accurate enough to target wanted terrorists and minimize innocent deaths. A senior U.S. intelligence official concedes that the problem is unsolved: Hekmatyar, bin Laden and former Taliban leader Mullah Omar are all still at large. "The results speak for themselves," the official says. And the job may only get harder. In his videotape, Hekmatyar warns his followers not to use sat phones, seeking to deny the Americans even their advantage from overhead. --With reporting by Timothy J.
