Americans bomb hospital in effort to retake Kunduz from the Taliban.
The Quebec City-born president of Doctors Without Borders offered up harrowing details of the attack on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, saying "patients burned alive in their beds."
"This was not just an attack on our hospital, it was an attack on the Geneva conventions," said Joanne Liu, president MSF International. "This cannot be tolerated."
"If we let this go, as if was a non-event, we are basically giving a blank check to any countries who are at war," she concluded.
Then "war has no rules!"
