I am equally sad to see almost all political posters on SI playing the "My pet hate is worse than your pet hate and you're so bad because you don't hate my pet hate more!!!!" Jeez, what a friggin' self-serving waste of time and bandwidth, right up there with my dad can beat up your dad. Berg's killing was vicious thuggery of the worst sort. Some may not think he should have been there in the first place, but women in dark alleys don't deserve to be attacked either. The prison tortures are horrific human rights violations far beneath American standards and ideals. More important, they wrecked what was left of the US image in the Arab world, for many years if not decades. No token gestures or words can make up that public affairs deficit. Mostly I see American posters debating how American audiences should feel about these two events. That's nice, but it's largely irrelevant except for the US election. The real import is in the Arab street and Iraqi streets in particular. They just got more dangerous for the Bergs of the world and everyone else there. Proclaiming the greater sin is......pointless. I wish folks would get over it, or SI would allow custom Ignore filters for specious, fallacious irrelevancies.
