Contractor Burned Alive in Iraq

As the partisan media continues to trump up the video of U.S. soldiers burning the dead bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan and manipulate its context as to make them devils (the journalist who shot it says that they were burning the bodies because the villagers refused to collect them), they gave little attention to the news that four U.S. contractors were killed in Iraq, one of which was burned alive. The Telegraph, a London-based newspaper, reports, “Barefoot children, yelping in delight, piled straw on to the screaming man’s body to stoke the flames”, but apparently the U.S. men and women, sacrificing much to give Iraqis freedom and democracy, are the monsters.
