Two people died and they get an international audience. Salafis kill 47 people today in suicide bombings and no one cares. The leaks in the press are simply ridiculous. Why are people leaking this kind of info? Why did the British leak the news about the guy they shot in the subway? Whatever happened to classified info? I thought the government had the right to lock up this kind of information for 25 or 50 years as part of national security. Oh well, the salafis are entitled to their free right to rape, torture, and kill without Western criticism. I don't think the military abuses should go unpunished. However, I don't think the civilian press has a right to publish military court martials for an extended period of time. It's not like we are going to see any of the terrible things the salafis are doing to innocent Iraqis or Western soldiers. The press has a right to publish both sides of the conflict. To date, they only get outraged by isolated examples of abuse or torture. They seem to condone the serial killings of innocent Iraqis as being, well, perfectly natural. Even worse, they just blame Bush for the suicide bombs.
