Partially true, but too, the SKoreans might not be as swayed and intimidated at being accused of being un-PC as the Americans.

What might be a typical SK reaction had their troops been the guards at Abu Ghraib. Would SK have allowed the 'horror of panties on a prisoner's head' to go all the way to the top of their government? [Doubtful.]

The terrorists are playing a deadly PR game against America. They may have made a serious misstake at killing the SKorean. Al Jazeera doesn't want to incite SKoreans even more. SKorea might not be as PC as the Americans; the SK may respond in kind.

In another story that didn't get much press: Afghans beheaded a Taliban in retaliation yesterday. Afghans know. You can't be PC with the Islamofanatical terrorists. You have to kill them.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

They also don't want the South Koreans to see it in fear of angering them anymore IMO.

We have to bow to the PC crowd here in America, they don't.

**"it doesn't serve our propaganda purposes."**

Bingo!
I wasn't buying the "disturbing to viewers" and you have zeroed in on their real reason....world backlash.
