Nope.  It's not just you.  I think the real problem is that the film media just
love to show footage of war, because it is great for ratings.  Unlike most
scandals. this leaves the print media to follow, instead of taking the lead.
The film media want the carnage to continue so they can keep getting viewers, so
they promote the carnage, and support the governments.  They don't ask any
questions, they just show the footage of the battle, and the only talking heads
they show are those left standing, who invariably start mouthing off with their
propaganda.  As both print, and film media actually support each other, to keep
their ratings/sales high, no-one is game to actually ask the question.

As you already know, these guy's did nothing wrong.  In their own country, what
they did was legal.  Sure, they may have twisted the laws, or even written them
to ensure that this was the case, but that is really irrelevant.  At the time,
they were the law makers.  The real problem that the Americans have, is that if
they try to subject these people to a trial process, they can't charge them with
anything, therefore they will just do what is right, and kill them.

I'm a little surprised that no-one in any form of media has really started to
ask any questions.

Cheers, Brenton
