Prisoners standing naked, and blind, dogs growling viciously, apprehension as to where the next blow is going to come from, and when. Footage of Iraqi's being forced into sexual positions, of an American having his head severed, of parts of Israeli bodies being paraded, of wounded combatants being tracked down and killed in cold blood.

I haven't seen much of the pictures, or footage (of either sides atrocities). I haven't wanted to. The reactions though have been explosive. And I expect a large reaction to the latest story, the beheading of Nick Berg. No doubt this'll be on the front of the sydney tabloid, the Daily Telegraph, tomorrow morning.
