Theoden's selective outrage - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

After the Ents demolished Isengard, Theoden had a real rant at Saruman during the Orthanc encounter. He castigated Saruman over the dead children in the Westfold and the mutilation of Hama's body at the Hornburg.

But surely uppermost in Theoden's mind at that time would have been the death of his only son, Theodred, at the 1st Battle of the Fords of Isen ? Why didn't he have a go at Saruman about that ?
