Why?

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Four U.S. soldiers face disciplinary action for burning the bodies of two Taliban rebels, but they will not be charged with crimes because their actions were motivated by hygienic concerns, the military said Saturday. The military started its inquiry into the incident last month after TV footage showed U.S. soldiers using the cremation to taunt other Islamic militants — an act that sparked outrage in Afghanistan. Islam bans cremation, and the video images were compared here to photographs of U.S. troops abusing prisoners at
Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING?!
