...the Al Jazeera video.
Al-Jazeera has also been giving significant prominence and airtime to supporters of Shiite radical leader Moqtada Sadr, who is wanted in connection with the murder of a rival cleric last year.
Both Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya have also been the exclusive broadcasters of several videotapes of foreigners kidnapped by insurgents in Iraq.

I think it is acceptable for the world to view the brutality of Americans but any other country would lessen thier effects on thier campaign to destroy America and our way of life. If they showed Italians being brutally murdered, then many countries would deem that as objectionable. Of course those same countries would love to see it be an American.

"we dont kidnap civilian workers, we dont murder them on purpose and record it, we arent brutal to our enemies, we are careful when we do use weapons in war spending billions a year to develop safer weapons to reduce civilian deaths in combat zones, our military forces get put at higher risk because they are told to be on a defensive position letting the enemy get more organised, trained and attacking us and whenever our troops go after the enemy to stop attacks they are called brutal, war criminals, etc."
No we just Nuke them like we did in Japan, Carpet bomb them like we did in Afghanistan, murder innocent wowen and children in Vietnam, take prisoners of war ship them to Cuba and put people in concentration camps(the japanese) in our own country and stick the Indians on reservations. Hmmm I think the US is responsible for many deaths and brutality.
"thats bs and people need to stop whining and putting restrictions on how our forces operate, if this wasnt going on our military wouldve crushed any opposition and the number of deaths would be far less and iraq would be in alot less chaos."
If there weren't restrictions the above would happen all over again- as to why we look bad to the world in the first place.
"this "nice" attitude you liberals want the military to abide by has caused the uneccisary deaths and forced the troops into a picture of being weak thus making more attack them."
So let me guess you are a conservative- hmm we should not be in Iraq in the first place.
