ALDRICH * During the NATO air campaign that followed the failure of the Rambouillet negotiations over the future of the province of Kosovo, hundreds of objects appear to have been targeted by the Alliance, many of them strictly military, such as airfields, air defense facilities, command and control facilities, and barracks. Other targets have had both military and civilian uses, such as bridges, railways, highways, and electric power production and distribution facilities. While, as inevitably occurs, some missiles and bombs missed their targets or affected nearby areas and damaged and destroyed civilian objects and injured and killed civilians, the objects selected for attack were, almost without exception, classic examples of legitimate military objectives. 1 Moreover, as in the Gulf War, considerable efforts appear to have been made to minimize collateral damage. Nevertheless, at least one target selected by NATO – television studios – was not an obvious military objective, although the western press seems not to have raised as much question about it as one might reasonably have expected it
