Some war criminals are better than others

Todd sent me this: " he above link points to an article when read in full shows how much AJ pains to make sure they make Assad and his forces to be so much worse, for example:
The report accused government forces and affiliated militia of committing torture, rape, forcible displacement and enforced disappearance.  It also accused rebels of carrying out executions without due process, as well as committing torture, taking hostages and pillaging.  But it said violations and abuses by the rebels "did not, however, reach the intensity and scale of those committed by government forces and affiliated militia".  That is the 3rd time in the article they pointed out that the gov't forces are on a bigger scale, why must they try so hard?  As you say it would be funny if the result was not so horrible with so many innocent being killed".
