I've posted previously about the burning of Taliban terrorist bodies by U.S. troops here, here and here.

You can now see the video of the event, along with commentary from the journalist who took the footage, here.

My reaction after seeing the video? I stand by what I've said before. The bodies were burned for hygeine reasons, not to desecrate them. Later, when a psy-ops unit came across the situation, they used it as propaganda to draw out the enemy.

This is also the explicit opinion of the filmmaker.

Personally, I don't have a problem with any of this. The Taliban cowards refuse to meet our troops on the field of battle. They'd rather engage in cowardly suicide and sneak attacks. If we can draw them out into a frontal assault with our troops (thus pretty much asuring their death or capture) with a few insults and taunts, so be it.

That's fine by me.
