Haven't seen anything like that on our news. Even if you think al-Jazeera is a propaganda outlet (which i don't), you can learn more about Iraq from watching that piece with the sound turned down than you can on any US news report. Just seeing images of the lined-up corpses, the cold-blooded executions, the buildings turned to rubble, the crying children, the broken hearts -- images we aren't normally shown in the US -- enhances your understanding of the war.
