I find it very interesting that not much has been said about the brutalization of the Ambassador before he was killed by the mob.

I recall as if it were yesterday the four American contractors who were set ablaze, dragged through the streets of Fallujah, and then hung from a bridge over the Euphrates during the first battle of Fallujah. I will never forget those images, simply because they were shown often and described in great detail.

Now, eight years later, when an American Ambassador is raped and brutalized outside of the American Consulate, even FoxNews is describing it as simply a 'killing'.

Why the two different media descriptions and emphasis/non-emphasis on the brutality involved?

[Just a rhetorical question.]
