If you were driving a car and you saw your sworn enemy and ran your car over him killing him and 10 bystanders how do you say that killing the 10 was inadvertent? Maybe you really didn't want to kill them but your actions certainly did. So when we blow up buildings how do we say we inadvertently killed anyone, killing is what we are doing?

WASHINGTON — The families of an anti-Qaeda cleric and a police officer killed in an American drone strike in Yemen filed suit in federal court in Washington on Sunday night, asking the court to declare that the strike was unlawful.
The lawsuit, which seeks no monetary damages, is described by the complainants as an attempt to break through the secrecy surrounding drone strikes and to have the court impose some public accountability for mistakes made in the program.
It cites President Obama’s decision in April to publicly disclose that a separate American strike, on a Qaeda compound in Pakistan, had inadvertently killed two Western hostages, an American and an Italian.
