Korean internet users have declared a 'hacking' war on a website www.ogrish.com circulating the Kim beheading video.

The site seeks and features especially gory materials and includes porn links.

Quote from the Digital Chosun Ilbo:
Korean Internet Users Launch Hacking Attacks on Ogrish.com
Korean Internet users have launched 'Hacking of Fury' attacks on a website, Ogrish.com, which is trying to obtain and spread the video of Kim Sun-il?s decapitation. This site posted the unabridged video of Nicholas Berg?s beheading in May. The site enraged Korean Internet users by posting an advertisement looking for video of Kim's decapitation when Kim was kidnapped.

The site is posting a message on its main page that Kim has been decapitated and is asking people to send in videos or photos of Kim?s decapitation if they have them. In regards to this message, Korean Internet users have gone on collective hacking attacks on the website, saying, 'We will punish a shameless website that is trying to commercialize the death of a man.'

Korean Internet users have posted ways to hack into Ogrish.com on various Korean websites like DC and are making all-out efforts to bring the website down. An Internet user resentfully suggested, 'Let's hack in to hang a Korean flag on the site...' Spreading a video of the beheading is to ridicule the death of Kim Sun-il. Korean Internet users have voiced concerns that a video of the beheading may be circulated around the world and this would be tantamount to killing Kim twice. Korean Internet users said, 'Let's join hands together to prevent the circulation of the video of Kim Sun-il who was killed undeservedly.' (end of article)

There is another porn site also featuring the video. Be especially careful with this one. The video actually plays automatically on the site (although it can be stopped).

Are we wrong for visiting sites and d/l images of these murders? Which should take precedence: respect for the Korean's wishes or the need to continue to raise consciousness and expose the enemy?

Matter of personal choice, personal taste. I don't see how watching the video could harm poor Kim and his family any more than has already been done. (There is a wire photo of his sister going around which caught her in such grief that it makes you feel intrusive to look at the picture. How could she be hurt more than she has already? Her brother has been killed by these death worshippers, for the sheer joy of it).

I've seen a lot of deaders. Heck, I deadened a few myself. I personally don't need to look at pictures. I have seen so much Islamic terror and perfidy that I don't think my motivation is going to flag in this lifetime. On the other hand, not all Muslims are like that. I've seen Islamic courage and selflessness too. I've seen people who can worship their god and not go around wanting to cut heads of, or tolerating those that do... so there is some cause for hope.

d.o.l.
