Interesting that Americans loosing dogs on a helpless man chained to a wall and having them attack him until he's in a pool of blood doesn't cause such a reaction...
Because that prisoner:
1) Was a prisoner, thus he was a bad person. That doesn't justify such treatment, but it lessens the...well...gravity of the situation.
2) That prisoner is still alive, and as we speak is being put on a pedastal of attention. He's getting his revenge on those who wronged him.
3) The American is dead. He was serving his nation and, to the best of his ability, the good of humanity. He was brutally murdered. He was humiliated. Rather than condemn this, you almost rub our faces in it, saying "WELL HE DESERVED IT, BECAUSE A FUCKING DYKE IN THE ARMY MISTRATED A FEW IRAQIS."
