Just as they did in Vietnam.
Is dropping tons of Napalm not "burning people alive"?

Good point JO; I wondered when the media went on about "burned alive" although (of course) they are FAR too responsible to show the actual video, that I'm amazed the media can be so openly and obviously manipulated. Terrorists realise (don't we all) that the only thing that matters to the media is a good story.

One of the experts on the news this evening was basically saying that the horrified reaction was part of their aim. So every online comment about it is probably a little win for them.
