Keep telling yourself that.

I will.  I'll also keep reading about the men and women who get put in jail for violating the ROE and other laws (like the woman who is in jail for taking pictures of naked Iraqis).

When put in perspective, the Nick Berg video is the equivalent of a very bad b movie clip. It wasn't real.
It was a pure propaganda piece designed to incite hatred in the mentally & intellectually weak.

Wrong again:

Abu Ghraib officer to be court-martialed

Only officer charged in prisoner-abuse scandal to be tried for eight offenses

Updated: 1:53 p.m. HT Jan 26, 2007
HAGERSTOWN, Md. - The only U.S. military officer charged with a crime in the Abu Ghraib scandal will be court-martialed on eight charges, including cruelty and maltreatment of prisoners, the Army said Friday.

Lt. Col. Steven Lee Jordan, a 50-year-old reservist from Virginia who ran the interrogation center at the Iraqi prison, was accused of failing to exert his authority as the place descended into chaos, with prisoners stripped naked, photographed in humiliating poses and intimidated by snarling dogs. He was also charged with lying to investigators.

lol.  So when I show that your statement is dead wrong (i.e., that only "low level men and women" are punished) you move the goal posts and claim only Generals aren't punished?  Okay.   ::)
