Killing by the numbers

In 2007 elite U.S. snipers executed an unarmed Iraqi prisoner in cold blood. Have the insidious tactics that led to atrocities in Vietnam reemerged in Iraq?

    So when do you write your article about the IRAQI TORTURE HOUSES????

    You have no problem going on and on about the atrocities committed by a very small minority of US soldiers, but when do you talk about the 100 times worse things that some of the insurgents are doing? When do you ever speak out about the videotaped beheadings? How about BLOWING UP CHILDREN ON PURPOSE???

    It seems like only the US can do wrong. Ignore the absolutely horrible stuff going on by the other side. It's "cool" to hate America.

    You rail FoxNews about being "Fair and Balanced", but you're a hypocrite when you don't even attempt to be yourselves.
