Which gets us back to the point. Do you really believe that the difference in covereage has nothing to do with :
1. the existence of photos and videos;
2. the fact that the coverage of the Iraq war itself is much higher than of this UN action, and in fact higher than the coverage of any other story in the entire world (NOTE: this applies to both positive and negative aspects. If Kofi Annan decided to fly onto an aircraft carrier to declare "Mission Accomplished" in the Congo, I doubt that it would get the same level of coverage as Bush's photo op did);
3. the evidence that the conduct of US soldiers at Abu Ghraib goes beyond a few bad apples flouting the rules.
