I think, regardless of the circumstances, that incidents like these are teaching Iraqi people the value we place on free speech. Go ahead and argue that he was saying some dangerous slogans--it doesn't even matter to me. It shouldn't take too much intelligence to deduce that the children probably won't make such a distinction.

It's more likely that a guy who would point out that the evil american pig dog soldiers cursed in front of children (who are masters of the english language) would leave this part out to insinuate that America is out to squash free speech rather then leave it in and allow readers to say "Oh, they're trying to not die."
I think those present could have made such a distinction.
