The Canadian pictures were worse than anything from Abu Ghraib, how soon we forget.

Sorry but I am a perfect RATmediaized American, I can't remember anything past three weeks ago.

[triceratops]

Yeah, this is far worse than the Abu Ghraib crap.

Hmmm...the story isn't entirely clear here;

TWO Belgian paratroopers who were photographed "roasting" a Somali boy over a flaming brazier are expected to be jailed for only a month and fined #200 after admitting the atrocity in a military court in Brussels yesterday.

Ah...so did they actually kill him, put him on a spit, and then put him over a fire? Or was it some kind of fake picture of that?

[spetznaz]

Now, this is far worse than anything that happened in Abu Ghraib. At least our guys were not making the prisoners eat their own vomit or smearing them with feces ....and they were definitely not roasting boys over flamier biers.

However, because Americans did not do these things the media will not report it in the US. This is a one day story. Sad.

As an aside: If you want to stop slavery in the Sudan, have an American go and buy one slave. The outcry will be so great that steps will be taken to stop the rampant slave trade in Sudan. However, because it is being done by Muslims (who enslave the souther Sudanese Christians), no one gives a darn.

Murderous westerners against innocent third worlders, you get the picture...

It's so nice to know the War Crimes Court is in Brussells ready to try Americans for hate crimes.

I demand that Rumsfeld stepdown for this /sarcasm off

People forget about other countries atrocities, from the French involvement in Rwanda to the Canadians in Somalia. This is not moral equivolency nor is it perspective what we have here is hypocracy.

I can picture an editorial board reviewing this for potential to hurt Bush, not finding any, and putting it on page 23.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Pictures, videos, witnesses, hearings, we want it all.

Oh, I forgot they are Canucks and waffle chompers, not Americans so will they get a pass.

"The image of the United Nations has been tarnished."

Hahahaha!! Oh, stop, I can't breathe, excuse me while I go change my pants, hahahahaha!!

[aruanan]

But they're UN troops and are Europeans, so that means that anything they do is, by definition, not that bad a thing: a boy's death = 1 month in the slammer and 200 Euros fine.

[CholeraJoe]

It's OK to roast a kid alive but not to make someone wear women's underwear on their heads? Where's the international outrage?
