If the Bush administration supports a beheading, will the media make a sound?

Apparently not.

Amnesty International today condemned the reported extrajudicial beheading of Taleban prisoners by government soldiers in southern Afghanistan this week. The organization stated it was appalled at the grotesque and retaliatory nature of the incident which reportedly occurred during "anti-Taleban" military activities in southern Afghanistan.

Beheading by Afghan government soldiers... Do they mean the government that we installed there? They're beheading people? Yet we're shocked when we hear about another beheading in Iraq? Is anybody ready to point out the hypocrisy of this situation, or will I continue to ask rhetorical questions?

[05:46 Update - Looks like the Afghan troops doing the beheading were trained by the US.]
