It is an under reported aspect of the invasion in my mind. I think most everyone agrees civilian deaths in this case were an inherent part of the operation, and troops on the ground were told to minimize as much as possible civilian casualties. But they didn't have laser-guided bombs and the aerial bombardments were often wildly inaccurate.
