I just read the article as well.
To me It doesn't sound as if it was intentional desecration of the bodies. If that was the intention, something far worse would probably have been done, and not in front of a reporter. Cremation is a perfectly reasonable way of disposing of the dead for most cultures.

As for playing Fleetwood Mac at them, and calling them a bunch of Women, well, I can hear worse any weekend at pub chucking out time, and probably louder then the troops were doing it too!
