Addressing what happened in Abu in the context of the war is not anti-American I don't think. Contrarily, what those SELECT soldiers did was ani-American. The fact that some of these atrocities were reported in January and kept secret...that's anti-American.
in fact, this very war and the next two decades may re-shape what it is to be American? (that's my vague statement of the day)
They werent kept secret. The reason the media even knew about it was because the military told them there was an investigation ongoing. They were keeping the information under wraps until ALL OF THE INFO WAS GATHERED so these soldiers could receive a fair trial as part of their constitutional rights.
What they did was completely morally wrong. But in their situation, if i had just watched my fellow soldier die in battle from one of these prisoners guns, I'd hate to think of what i'd be capable of doing to them.
