People should keep one thing in mind; if you're intelligent you know how to misslead people the best way possible. Both the iraqi intelligence and the american intelligence very well knows the importance of using media. I'm not saying USA have done this, but they had all the reasons in the world to do so. And if it was USA that did it they definitely got the attention they wanted, they have the war in Vietnam in their fresh memories. When the american people turned against USA the war eventually(yeah took a long time) had to end. Now USA don't want that to happen again so they know that media must refresh the americans of why they are in Iraq, and what could be better than this? No matter what, the american government is thrilled this happened (don't believe in Bush saying anything else, YOU KNOW this is GOOD NEWS for him). Personally I have no idea what to think of it, it seems very stupid of the iraqies to do this since america's getting a lot of bad critics, which is good for Iraq. But on the other hand, someone would undoubtedly revenge the american treatment of the prisoners. It was only a matter of time(but we obviously don't know whether USA staged this or not).
Blood spills can be pretty intense for a few seconds, mostly it settles pretty fast but it gets very messy. I've growed up on a farm so I'd say I've got some knowledge about it.
