The same media that is gleefully wallowing in the Iraq prison photos and is demanding release of more, including videos, won't show the truth about the savagery of our enemy. But you can bet your last dollar that the seditious media WILL show the prison video if and when it's released.

Jihad Ballout eh? Well...uhm...no comment.

Yeah - they'll fill the time with more prison photos, bet on it.

The ONLY reason for this is because the media is invested in the anti-Bush, anti-war cause and this video would go against their agenda.

If they get their hands on more Al-Ghraib photos, they will be shown, over and over and....

[NYer]

These are savage animals - including the media!

I find it hard to believe that anything ABC,CBS,NBC et al, would see that would make them queezy. The only reson is that it doesn't provide political advantage to Kerry (scummy creep). If they thought for one minute they could get some advantage for the weirdo they would show it. Bet they keep showing the prison porn pics.

[MizSterious]

One almost suspects that if the deceased had been nude, they'd have aired it. The media makes me ill.

[alnitak]

Judging by the number of people uploading from my Kazaa share, this video will get around.

[The Louiswu]

These same media outlets show bank robberies gone sour, shootings, many types of violence, but they won't show this?

"The news story itself is strong enough," said Jihad Ballout, spokesman for Al-Jazeera television, an Arabic-language satellite station based in Qatar. "To show the actual beheading is out of the realm of decency."M<

Interesting how "PG" rated abuse by American troops can be splashed on newscast after newscast creating a "scandal" tidal wave, but "R" and "X" rated terrorist acts get swept under the rug because they can't/won't be shown to the masses!

Note to American Interrogators: Make sure your future "discussions" with prisoners are "Too Hot for TV!" and poof! scandals will disappear

From what I have heard, there was no decision to make for the mainstream media on this one. There is just no way they could show it. I won't even download it out of fear that my kids might open it.

Compared to this video, the Iraq prison videos are the equivalent of a frat house hazing.

We need to Freep 60 minutes for starting this.

No one in the media was interested in the story back in January. No one cared, until the pictures came out on 60 minutes.

These animals claimed they beheaded the American because of the prison thing. 60 minutes caused this. It doesn't matter that "someone else" would have released the pictures if they hadn't. 60 minutes promoted this. They should get stuck with the blame.

I don't think it will happen, but the family should sue them within an inch of Viacom's stock price.

" 'The news story itself is strong enough,' said Jihad Ballout, spokesman for Al-Jazeera television, an Arabic-language satellite station based in Qatar. 'To show the actual beheading is out of the realm of decency.' "

Is this the same al Jazeera that had no compunction about showing executed American prisoners of war? The same one invited to the party?

Out of the realm of decency my foot. You people just don't want your public to make a COMPARISON.

[spunkets]

al-jazeera: "To show the actual beheading is out of the realm of decency."

Sure, cover it up clymers. It doesn't fit your wack job propaganda does it.

Without trying to start an argument, can you not see the difference between a naked guy on a leash and someone's head being cut off. If the media was showing this video people would be screaming in rage that it was corrupting their children. It was pretty easy for the media to blur out private parts in the prisoner photos, what are they supposed to do about a beheading.

You know as well as I do that if any American TV channel showed this they would lose their broadcast license almost immediately. The FCC and the American public would not tolerate it. Would you want to see your daughter or son beheaded on national TV. So stop complaining at the media about something that is not their fault.

"Steve Capus, executive producer of NBC's "Nightly News," said it was one of the worst things he had ever seen."

What? Compared to Iraqi prisoners masturbating or naked?

Explain please, what was the "one" of the worst things?

You media types who parlayed this into a "get Bush" moment without thinking of the consequences signed this man's death warrant. Al-Queda devils killed him, but by hyping this prison humiliation out of all bounds of common sense, you gave the Demons a good excuse. Now, how many more of these civilians and military they captured are going to die?

And will there be a Congressional investigation into just how bad Al-Quada acted against the Geneva conventions or against Red Cross guidelines? Of course not. After all, Al-Quada and Bin Laden aren't running against the Democrats.

If people start spreading the internet links, the television media will feel left out and will show it. Click here or here or for a zipped version click here. Homeland security site warns "It is a gruesome video, and will almost certainly offend you and make you angry"

Folks, This video does not need to be shown. To show it would only appeal to certain pornographic sensibilities. The fact is, that by no showing it the effect will be much stronger in two ways. First, because human imagination tends to make up even worse than the actual images would show (not that they aren't sickening and heinous). The slasher movies where the action takes place off camera are far more frightening.

Second, and this is the best reason...

The fact that the media will not show it absolutely proves the case that this barbarism is orders of magnitude worse than the prisoner humiliation images. To show the tape would, thanks to our desensitized viewinng mindset, tend to place the prisoner humiliation and the beheading on an equal par.
