I'm not saying it's not wrong, it was. I'm just remarking that surprisingly, most of the Iraqi voices seem less upset that the American voices. As for Al Jazeera et al, it's just given them fuel to believe what they believed anyway, no possible amount of nice behavior or absence of wrong behavior is going to change the way Al Jazeera reports the news, and of course they can go for weeks given any real incidence of wrong behavior.

What was done was wrong. Agreed. I wish there had been a day or two before the right wing spin cycle started respinning the news, talking about how the Arabs are all liars and this is nothing compared to what they do to us and each other. Out of decency and respect, if nothing else. But no. It's all grist for the spin machines. The problem is that all the spin machines tell a little bit of truth, along with a lot of hype. And we all know we're being spun. I guess the only way to get away from it is to step away from the computer and the TV and read a book, NOT one about current events.
