Meanwhile, a British reporter has videotape showing American soldiers deliberately shooting a wounded Iraqi from a helicopter as he crawls out from under a flaming truck, which is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. But for all practical purposes, this war crime hasn’t occurred...yet. In the U.S., the video has aired only on ABC, and so far the obscurity of this story is a weird mimicry of the prisoner abuse revelations, which had aired on CBS almost a full week before the issue exploded onto front pages and presidential announcements of shock.

...Manhattan's Upper West Side, gave his first atonement sermon in "eight or nine years." Chicago First United Methodist's Blackwell found himself lined up with two other talking heads on MSNBC, debating the topic as if it were an election issue or celebrity trial. And back in Geneva, the issue continues to fascinate the Bible students and their church's associate rector, Tony Welty. "The question is," says Welty, "O.K., if this really happened, why did it happen? Why did Christ die? And if he really did die, then, my God, what does that mean...
