well sure, if iraqi guards are raping people, and the media presents them without context to make people believe that US soliders are doing it.

same thing with murder. how many of those deaths were associated with prisoners attacking guards, or trying to escape? its easy to say "prisoner X was killed in custody", and call it "murder", so long as you don't present the context regarding how it happened. Without context, it sounds like US soldiers just randomly walked into prisoner cells and shot them in the head. I want to know the whole story.

Remember Abner Louima? He really DID get brutalized with a broomstick. The "context" only made it worse.

Perhaps "context" will mitigate to some extent, but I don't expect it to calm the storm.

Somebody's head will have to be offered on a platter, and I'm afraid it's going to be Rumsfeld's.
