Well, didn't Human Right Watch blame the USA, Saudi Arabia, and Israel as well?
Does anything change on this planet?

I noticed that the BBC was much slower and milder than they used to be in covering the events like this in Egypt.
But I might be mistaken anyways.

BBC is British. In college, they taught us two methods to make emulsions; the British style and the American style. The British one was dubbed "slow but sure".
I don't blame them for being slow; they probably had to confirm that the photos are real and the events are more than one incident.
