Yeah. Panties on the head of Iraqi prisoners makes for a year-long story. (Tonight the NY Times has two headlines about the story.) But let a 16-year old girl get hung and its all a big yawn for the MSM.

Something like Afghanistan- the Taliban massacre 3,000 Afghans they didn't like, but what makes the news and outrages the world? Not the massacre. The outrage at the time was only about the Taliban's destruction of the Buddha statues. The statues was widely noted as being unique and 'irreplaceable,' as if individual human beings are not.

How come there's never been a peep from the Left about what went on at Abu Ghraib while the Butcher of Baghdad was in power?
