"If the United States does in the last phase of the Afghan war wage a 
campaign of extermination against the network's leaders – for example, by 
refusing to accept surrenders so it can continue bombing the Tora Bora 
caves where some al Qaeda members are holed up – it may lose international 
support by appearing overly vengeful and, some legal experts say, could 
even find itself accused of war crimes.
