BAGHDAD, Iraq - A video posted on the Internet Wednesday in the name of an extremist group claimed to show Iraqi insurgents dragging the burning body of a U.S. pilot on the ground after the crash of an Apache helicopter.

Parts of the video were blurry, and the face of the man being dragged was not shown. His clothes were so tattered it was impossible to tell if he was wearing an American military uniform, but he appeared to be wearing military fatigues.

If this is a captured American, then they have committed a war crime. Why isn't THAT the focus of the media report?

No one accuses the side they are cheering on of "War Crimes".

Where's the outrage from the left on the inhuman treatment of this brave warrior?

Not a peep or a blip in the media. :( It's not even on the front page of Yahoo anymore. These ingrates in Iraq don't deserve democracy. They don't understand it and are too entrenched in their religion of pieces.

Considering our patriot didn't have panties on his head, it's understandable. /sarcasm
