Intent is a part of law, and it's easy to make the case that this was the right thing to do from the standpoint of intent.

Frankly I didn't quite get the problem with showing the US POWs. Sure it's a war crime to humiliate, but humiliation is nothing, it's more important that they not face torture or death.

And frankly, although I avoided the Daniel Pearl tape and don't care for things like Faces of Death, I can watch those two assholes dead all day and love it. If there was a "Uday and Qusay Dead" 24 hour cable channel, I would have it on right now. Seeing the videos of them while they were alive is far more gross and offensive.
