I think the public should SEE everything.
If the public had been able to see large doses of the torture of Saddam they would never have been duped into believing putting panties on a person's head, or making them strip was anything more than intimidation .. but it certainly was not TORTURE.
I do too. I'm not asking for government censorship here. But I am upset that private individuals in the USA provides direct support for an al-Qaeda linked group.
There's a lot more to it than just the SNUFF videos. These sites are used for recruitment, for training, for extortion (shows they deliver on their threats so they will be taken seriously next time) and they also contain gigabytes of terrorism manuals.
Why isn't it called "SNUFF PORN" if it is done by terrorists? Think about the dichotomy for a few minutes: If some pervert had posted murder videos the police would be all over him. If terrorists post murder videos then their videos are protected speech.
We talked to the FBI -- the FBI tells us they aren't looking at the sites.
