Those Soldiers who abused the detainees did wrong but when comparing it to what those fanatics did to poor Nick Berg (which we hardly hear anything of anymore), it really is child's play.
If anything, it highlights media bias towards the USA.

I agree to the media bias but we seem to be somewhat inconsistant in our judgements.
When some soldiers are found to be abusing EPWs we say that it is only a small percentage of soldiers and not representative of the overall mentality. I agree!!
However, 5 terrorists go on TV and publicly execute an american. Now we say that it is Iraq as a whole and they all deserve what they get.
Is it right to have it both ways? Which of those five terrorists have ever been in U.S. Custody?
Baghdad is comparable in size and population to Chicago. When some homeboys in Cabrini Towers go wild and shoot up a few cops should the LEO go to the Cook County jail and proceed to abuse all of the prisoners in custody?
