I believe the Iraqi vehicle was actually of Russian make. As for bias in the statement, I don't see it. It was an Iraqi vehicle, and it is indeed considered less secure than U.S. military equipment.
They chose that vehicle to get the reporting perspective.

"They were standing up in the hatch of the mechanized vehicle, exposed when the device exploded."
It doesn't matter how secure the vehicle is (it was secure enough to protect the rest of the crew), if you are exposing yourself.
