Call me skeptical
"Cowardly dogs" is not quite the insult I expect from a bunch of Rangers or special forces.
Although I guess it is possible that this was a psych-op, I remain deeply skeptical these were the actions of US Armed Forces.
I guess the funniest part is that those folks that videotape themselves sawing tourists' heads are 'insurgents', while US forces attempting to rid a country of terrorists are labelled as war criminals. Also note the gratuitous use of Abu Ghraib from the obviously non-partisan Sydney Morning Herald, as well as reporting this story as fact without any response by the US and even before the show the story references has aired.
I don't know if 'SBS's Dateline' is equivalent to the show by the same name in the US, but if so, I would have expected to see some more Google News entries on it by now.
Expect to see this show up on the hate-America networks soon!
Update: Story is developing; news release from Centcom.
