Chicken Noodle News

It looks like the American media is treating the conviction of Sgt. Michael Smith for using guard dogs to terrify prisoners at Abu Ghraib as a human-interest story on how hard this has been on the poor soldier's family. Fully two-thirds of the linked article is devoted to the fact that he lost a brother earlier this year to a heart attack, and that his father and sister-in-law are sad.

Here we have a man convicted of making people shit themselves in fear, including at least two children, and apparently his sister-in-law is sad. That's some hard-hitting reporting - well done CNN!
