Personally, I don't think the yanks had any legitimate reason to start this war in the first place.
However, the troups on the ground are now committed to doing a grizly job. It's a bit naieve to expect them to carry it out with perfect diplomacy and a sense of good sportsmanship. If you get in a sewage engineer to clear blocked drains, you shouldn't be shocked if you notice a smell when he removes the manhole cover.
I don't think the footage should be stopped. The general public should be aware of what they are endorsing when they support a war. Especially on such tenuous of excuses.
Having been committed to this conflict, the troups on the ground are doing a great job. Anyone that finds these scenes offensive, but supported the war in the first place, should take this as a reality check.
How much support would Bush and Blair have got had they suggested. "We're going to invade Iraq, take out all thier security infrastructure to allow anarchy to thrive. A lot of innocent civilians are going to get killed or maimed for life. This will be exacerbated by their health service being totally decimated, and all essential services will become unreliable or non-existent. Of course a large percentage of their population will come to hate the west for doing it, but it's for their own good because we'll get rid of Saddam Husain and he's a B'stard"
