Video of American dead, prisoners outrages U.S.
Clearly they are not a beaten foe, top U.S. general says

WASHINGTON (CP) - A single gruesome image of the corpses of four U.S. soldiers strewn in a makeshift Iraqi morgue was beamed into American living rooms today, bringing home the human cost of the war in Iraq.
The jarring image - U.S. networks refused to show video of the scene - and word that five other captured soldiers were paraded before Iraqi cameras outraged American officials and underscored stiffening Iraqi resistance.
"The pictures were disgusting," said U.S. army Lt.-Gen. John Abizaid.

Just 3 months ago ....
The US ( don't give me this coalition force bullshit) should have tried to capture them, instead of executing them.
This will transform 2 thugs in martyrs for the Iraqis, just as the execution of Che Guevara by the CIA in Bolivia.
Be ready to see dead US soldiers paraded in all conflicts...
This conduct is expected from barbaric nations or gangs of thugs, not from a " civilized" nation that claims to be a " liberator".
Bad judgement,
Rumsfeld.
