Just wanted to point out that for example on German TV the journalist openly speak of dead women, children and babies and when i see for example CNN they talk all the time of "killed civilians" and the question i raise is: Why always using such a neutral expression like "civilians" and not just say what is really happening.

This is just nonsense.

"U.S. troops shot and killed at least seven Iraqi civilians ? some of them children" (MSNBC)

"Central Command said 13 women and children were in the van shot at Monday." (ibid)

"Referring to Monday's fatal shootings by U.S. soldiers of at least seven women and children at a checkpoint..." (CNN)

Just a few seconds on Google News would show that what you are claiming is false. All the American news outlets use both civilian for the generic description and "women and children" for the specific, when there were actually women and children.

He was beaten up and also his friend. I just wonder why nobody is showing this on american TV.

I don't know why CNN isn't reporting this. All the other American sites are. Certainly it should be reported.
