damn sure that the targets were not threats to the allied invasion.[/quote:8e8f1]
well "being damn sure" is the difficult bit when what's at a site is not what intelligence has described....
the real question is did the Commanders accept and update their intelligence, or did they a re-order the
bombings to be carried out by US planes:

"Last night, The Sun-Herald could not confirm whether or not American field commanders raised objections
about the Australian pilots' actions, nor if US pilots later carried out the bombing runs themselves."

...obviously I can't imagine the Commanders being best pleased, I'll try to find more about their reaction.
