Yeah, I don't understand the spin of the MSNBC story that the Iraqis "took good care" of them. Pulling the head of a dying woman by the hair (to the point of making her grimace in pain) to position her better for the propaganda cameras is not "good care" in my book.

I just hope and pray that her family never sees this.

The spin on this story was unbelievable. First you have Shoshana Johnson saying it gave her a sense of relief that at least they were doing their best to treat her. Then the reporter, at the end of the tape, saying that it was not aired by Iraqi television because it didn't present her captors in a very good light. And then ultimately it IS aired here.

Not to disrespect Shoshana Johnson, but her take on this clip is the exact opposite of what most of us take away from viewing it.

The video in the link posted earlier in this thread makes it quite clear that the reason the video never aired in Iraq is because it does NOT show the Iraqis in a good light. They obviously abused a wounded soldier, and this video shows the abuse. They also, obviously, took SOME care of them, but not enough, and definately not what we would give to enemy wounded. I think, for once, they put all the info they had out, to let us make up our own minds about it.
