Journalist Who Filmed Burning Taliban Bodies Suggests Media Got it All Wrong

Here is an example of another story which has taken place inside Iraq that has been over hyped and taken out of context by the left-wing media. I am referring to the one involving a videotape in which U.S. soldiers can be seen burning the bodies of dead Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. What is not being reported alongside the video taken by Australian journalist Stephen Dupont, however, is the journalist’s own statement that he believes they were either burning the bodies for the purposes of hygiene (the villagers had refused to retrieve the bodies so they had to be disposed of) or inciting the anger of the Taliban in order to draw them out into the open and fight them. If the media would stop their semi-reflexive anti-American accusations for a moment and actually think when it came to stories like this, they probably would not have the dishonest reputation they have now.
