wait...what?....I know the media sucks, but even they must have reported that piece of information. Do you have any media reports of this Downs Syndrome thing? I'd like to read that.
If it helps, I remember reading it, too. It did receive some press coverage, but there was no massive indignation about it. Except in the boy's family, of course.
I know it's on FR somewheres... during the first round of Iraqi voting, terrorists blew up a line of folks waiting to vote using a disabled child. Of course they do that sort of thing in Israel all the time, too.
It was all over the place. Google it.

Disabled child in suicide attack
31 January 2005
Terrorists used a disabled child as a suicide bomber on election day, Iraqi interior minister Falah al-Naqib said today.
In all, 44 people were killed in a total of 38 bomb attacks on polling stations. Police at the scene of one the Baghdad blasts said the bomber appeared to have Down's syndrome.
Mr Al-Naqib praised an Iraqi citizen who was killed while preventing one suicide bomber from reaching a crowd of people outside a polling station
