How is the media looking at this?

I dont particularly want to see the footage but i hope its not erased from history for its disagreeable content.

I agree.

If we lived in a society that censored such information, we'd be living in denial of the holocaust in Nazi Germany and lynchings in America.

Too true, we have got to get out of the medias grip.

Reminds me of a good quote:

'News is what someone wants to suppress. Everything else is advertising'

I would be happier leaving it to the individual to open a book, put a tape in a vcr, click a link or listen to someones speeches than have someone tell them what to consume or what is consumable.

Daniel Pearl video available online

I saw this video...Let me just say that it is one of the more horrible things I have seen on the internet, but I was curious as to how their propagandists had manipulated the cold-blooded killing of another human-being into a good press for themselves.

It is disturbing to see how twisted their reality is. I think that having it on the internet for people to see is okay only so everyone can see how fanatical these people are. Civilized people don't do what these people did.

"I'm Jewish. My mother's Jewish. My father's Jewish."

"There's a street in Jerusalem, named (Yehuda?)-Pearl street. That's named after my great grandfather."

and about a trillion other things that he was forced to say. I'm not quoting directly because I don't have the video here at work, but basically the gist of it is that he's an evil Jew, his family are evil Jews and Zionists, and that Americans need to stop their unconditional support for Israel and start treating the world better. Good points, the last one, but you don't make them with a dead reporter, unfortunately.

In fact, the video is so graphic and disgusting I'm not even going to post the link here; e-mail me if you want it.

It is amazing how good the production values are. These people aren't street thugs; they are well organized, well financed madmen.

I hate these fuckers!

Welcome to the Cellar, bibhucell.
I think you're 5 years too late.
