I'm curious, no flame intended: what "service" do you receive on the tenth viewing of the Islamist scumbag holding Nicholas Berg's severed head in his hand? What additional insight or understanding do you receive that you didn't get on his ... oh ... fifth posting of the image?

We were rightfully outraged when the Fallujahan creeps dragged the Blackwater guys' bodies behind their truck for public viewing. It was meant to elicit visceral emotion. Dragging Nick Berg's death around this forum is a similar outrage, IMO, and I consider it a desecration of his memory. I'm no shrinking violet, and I watched the video last night because I felt I needed to understand the nature of our enemy. But I don't watch it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. And I didn't send it to friends and family as an unsolicited attatchment to an e-mail.

This is an abuse of that young man's memory, and I think the sensibilities of some people who use this forum. That's my take. But, my take could be b.s. and this is a Free Republic, as my friend Americanwolf has reminded me. Regards.

Actually, this is the first time I have seen these pictures. We don't all have time to go into 10 threads a day. According to Alexa, the average visitor to FR views 5.6 pages.

The odds are that most FReepers have seen the pictures only once or not at all while on FR.

There is no rule against posting relevant pictures multiple times while the topic is still current.

Odd, isn't it, that in the short amount of time you've been here you've already managed to make FR look bad here.

Are you a plant, by any chance? No flame intended, just curious.
