Apart from brief mentions on Fox News and CNN, reports on this issue in the days prior or subsequent have been few. As a result, the populace of the US sees daily news coverage of just how ruthless the insurgents are in their attacks upon the populace in the way of guns and bombs, but are not given substantive evidence of the intimidation (torture) which the Iraqi people face. And it is this torture and intimidation which is the direct cause of slowing US progress, hampering the swift end of the insurgency in Iraq. Thinking that the people of Iraq support the insurgency and are not merely being intimidated by them, the US populace is impatient for instant progress and their support for the Iraqi people obtaining their freedom from such a ruthless enemy has swiftly waned. As a result, the US support for the war has dropped and many discouraged American people support the pullout of troops from Iraq.

CNN Headline News anchor Glenn Beck said that if America withdraws from Iraq, it “would be America’s most shameful act of immorality since slavery,” adding that Democrat Congressional war opponents are “just plain stupid” and “can’t see the future.” Beck claimed that if U.S. forces pull out, a “genocide” will take place that makes Darfur “look like a picnic.” “The blood of the Iraqi children will be on all of our hands,” Beck said. For support he turned to Van Hipp, Chairman and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army who said, "Unfortunately, Glenn, I believe you`re right. And I tell you, if we surrender now, I believe you will see a humanitarian catastrophe much like or even worse than the situation in Darfur right now, the death count -- and the estimate right now beginning in a few months, they could be looking at 100,000 deaths a month. <ref> http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0704/24/gb.01.html </ref>
