I think I see the same group, all armed with their preconceived notions/biases about the USA (some of them even live here) using any excuse to cast aspersions.

I don't know the extent of truth in this story, but to suggest that the BBC, who never gave unbiased reports on the Troubles in the North of Ireland in all the years it went on, in fact wouldn't even use the recorded voices of the leaders of Sinn Fein, is evidence to support your biases. If these young women were mistreated, then those at fault need to be prosecuted. My guess is that if I were to search the logs in London, Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, Sydney, or any other large city in this world, I would see examples of the same.
