Nice touch.

You just love posting negative news about the US, don't you? I mean, seriously, you make like 4-6 of these threads a day. Is there ANYTHING else you guys "debate" here?
In contradiction there is also 4-6 threads started each day that states the opposite view without anybody complaining about THAT.

It`s a popular issue to debate.

Murdering scumbags ...it's 'soldiers' like these that make Iraqi 'insurgents' feel fully justified in carrying out the wholesale slaughter of US troops in Iraq. I hope they get made somebody's bitch in prison.

Sounds like they have what it takes to work at Gitmo, a transfer is my bet.

Its incidents like this that undo all the good work being done by the Solders who genuinely care and are trying to make a difference.
Its unforgivable to execute innocent Iraqis in revenge for a comrades death. You can bet the children and families of these executed men will have an AK in their hands as soon as, perpetuating the cycle of violence.
Justice must be seen to be done, the families need closure.

I also find it strange when all the good things they do such as those in the videos Kmarion posted are not broadcast on the BBC, strangely enough the BBC only ever shows bad stuff that's happening, guess its all profit and ratings.

For the last time, the BBC does not get any funding for adverts so it doesn't care about profit and ratings.

In any event, I'm grateful for our troops.  I see it like lawyers, a few dickheads contaminate the perception of the entire breed.

Thats awesome. No doubt about it. But it doesn't justify what the other soldier has done.

I'd like to know what the Blackwater (?) security contractors have been doing the whole time. no one hears about them at all. Good or bad.

No it doesn't. Unfortunately it only takes one act of hypocrisy to diminish 100 acts of kindness.

Well alright then the BBC gets its funding some other way, but that wasn't the point, the BBC still only ever puts out bad news like most other networks, I've yet to see something good related with US troops put out by the BBC. (Note this, I said I'VE yet to see, this don't mean it hasn't happened or won't happen and I see the BBC most nights, although if anyone can show me evidence I'll go back to sleep)

P.S how does the BBC get funding?

so somewhere along the line, someones opinion is being thrown into the mix @ BBC.
i mean there is money that they use, the people that read the news dont do it out of the kindness of their hearts. whoever has money can get what they want on the air.

I can agree with this if the soldiers are guilty.

They confessed after another soldier blew the whistle. According to the OP article.

On every news channel even Al Jazera, daily, they show solders patrolling and doing their jobs. That is the good side.
"strangely enough the BBC only ever shows bad stuff that's happening"
I watch the BBC while I eat my breakfast and dinner and at 10pm at night do you? Obviously not, because if you did you would see the editorials they do on nation building and the good work being done by the coalition. Your claims are unfounded and hysterical. The BBC is as unbiased as you get in the media world, no sponsors or media moguls to please, just the population of the UK who pay a yearly subscription for the pleasure of having the news reported from all angles.

What they supposed to do then, ignore the bad things that happen in the world and only focus on flowers and cuddly toys.......?

Didn't the BBC do a self investigation and come to the conclusion that there was bias? I'm not doubting the story or it's loyalties personally, but I remember something like that happening.

The only opinions being thrown into the mix at the BBC are the journalists opinions themselves. I'm doing some work for the BBC (indirectly - I'm working on a pitch for a Horizon program about the Pentagon funding research into cyborg cockroaches and stuff, it's pretty interesting) at the moment and it really doesn't seem to be influenced by external funding.

The BBC does show a lot of the successes in Iraq and particularly in Afghanistan. There is a great range of news coverage, which is determined by the editors - not by people funding it.
