Innocent Life

Condoleezza Rice, another Administration "Critical Parent," talked about the loss of "innocent life" on her trip to the Mideast. So, "innocent life" now includes the post-born as well as frozen fetuses. This summary derived from Morning Edition (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5580340). What struck me is the recurrence of the mantra "innocent life" wherever convenient.

I wonder, does "innocent life"include the subset of the post-born comprised of soldiers doing the bidding of balding ideologues? Or are soldiers complicit and, therefore, non-innocent life?
