..and HRW is complaining the US is not doing enough to protect civilians from the terrorists. That's a far cry from being the bad guy. We are the good guys but, as can be expected, we can't prevent every car bombing, suicide attack, political assasination or religion-motivated killing that occurs.

It's a full time job for ANY police agency. Egypt couldn't prevent the bombing of its hotels. Saudi Arabia can't prevent the kidnapping of journalists on its soil or the sabotage of its refineries. Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait, etcetera all have difficulties preventing or 'policing' the sorts of attacks on humans described by HRW.

Painting the US as the bad guys who have taken away Iraqis human rights is preposterous. CNN knows it. HRW knows it. You know it.

But it makes a great profitable headline.
