Chosen carefully and taken out of context.
I heard that segment and he was NOT excusing the soldiers who mistreated Iraqis. He's not even an apologist for them, he was simply making the point that a few rotten apples should not be used to judge ALL Americans any more than a few misguided Arabs who hijacked and subsequently crashed civilian jets into buildings, killing thousands, should not be used to judge all Arabs.
I can find the transcript on his website if I really want to.
