very true, and therefore the quandary...

Stuff like what's shown in this video, which is probably only the tip of the iceberg, is not only evidence of the criminal nature of these wars but also serves the purposes of those who wish to inflame and provoke those who identify with the victims into retaliation that will receive far more press than these exposés... if Abu Ghraib itself couldn't end the wars by sickening the American people this particular atrocity won't either. Also, it's possible that wikileaks is using this opportunity to earn credibility capital to spend later in some way. Think about it this way--it is said this video was leaked and decrypted, and we all automatically marvel at the noble audacity of those involved in that leak. But we will never know who leaked this and why because wikileaks promises to keep all sources confidential--pretty handy if those sources aren't who we assume them to be.
