Terrorists execute a hostage - cite abuse of Iraqi prisoners

Today, the terrorists holding an American contractor hostage executed him (and posted the images on a website) citing the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. Not a single newspaper has yet pointed out this as a case of hypocrisy, although its obvious the terrorists aren't really concerned with the abuse (which has been general knowledge since January, apparently although the pictures are new).

If I were a newspaper editor I also would not point out the hypocrisy. That's because terrorism is worse than hypocrisy; much, much, much worse. The hypocrisy is insignificant compared to that.
