((A PICTURE MAY BE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, BUT NATO HAD TROUBLE
FINDING ANY WORDS TO GO WITH THESE --DESPERATE IMAGES OF TWISTED BODIES
IN A FIELD - A REALITY OF WAR - BUT THE RESULT OF AN ADMITTED MISTAKE.
JAMIE SHEA//NATO SPOKESMAN:
"No conflict in human history has ever been accident-free or will ever
be. We can reduce the risks of accidents, but we cannot eliminate them
altogether.
THE PILOT OF THE NATO F-16 WAS CONFIDENT HE HAD ZEROED IN ON A SERB MILITARY CONVOY - AND AFTER JUST DODGING A BARRAGE OF ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE
- AT 15-THOUSAND FEET HE MADE THE DECISON TO STRIKE
VOICE OF NATO PILOT:
"I roll in, put my system on the lead vehicle and execute a laser-guided bomb attack on that vehicle, destroying the lead vehicle."
BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN HOW EVEN FROM THAT ALTITUDE, A CONVOY OF
SIMPLE CARTS AND TRACTORS COULD BE CONFUSED WITH A MILITARY UNIT ON THE MOVE.
THE ANSWER FROM THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT: IT'S PART OF THE FOG OF
WAR.
WILLIAM COHEN/SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
"It has been confirmed by NATO that an error did in fact occur, but it was under extraordinary circumstances with the kind of stress placed
upon pilots we have to take into account."
SPEAKING BEFORE A GROUP OF NEWSPAPERS EDITORS IN SAN FRANCISCO, THE PRESIDENT OFFERED ANOTHER APOLOGY - BUT INSISTED THE STRIKE AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA MUST CONTINUE - EVEN IN THE SHADOW OF SOMETHING CRITICS WILL SURELY USE IN THEIR ADVANTAGE.
"If anyone thinks - power to bear again."
LEE COWAN//CBS NEWS:
"U-S military leaders spent the morning on Capitol Hill defending that
power --- warning the conflict could last well into the Summer months to
achieve its objectives. If it does - officials say - U-S casualties
would not longer be possible, but probable. Lee Cowan, CBS News, the
