Yeah, that's what I see as well. So what do we have here... insurgent gets cut during arrest probably because he was resisting, tried to run away, or maybe he tripped over a box of RPG's. Who knows? Point is, a soldier then applies some first aid to the bleeding man.

This scene probably plays itself out hundreds of times a day.

I can't believe how "manufactured" the news have become.

One more thing...

The more I look at the 8 or so pictures in question the clearer it becomes that this is only a "prisoner abuse" story because the Associated Press desperately wants it to be. Aside from some goofing off type behaviour (oh the horror!), and an insurgent with a slight cut to his chin or lower jaw) there is NOTHING here. Absolutely nothing.

This just reinforces my belief that extreme partisanship forms the foundation of the news reports out of Iraq. That's all this will achieve. In fact, I hope the military lays into the ASSociated Press and tells them to report real friggin' news for a change.
