BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A video released by Muslim militants on Friday showed them beheading British hostage Kenneth Bigley, a Reuters witness said.

It's not worded well but it looks like a roto rotor person witnessed the video not the actual beheading.

I think they mean that they are relying on a witness' description of the video.

Let me in the room before hand and I'll show them my press pass. Scum of humanity. They must be caught and killed.

a Reuters witness said.

Not really surprising, considering the mindset of journalists today.

A few months ago, Cal Thomas (yeh, the supposed conservative journalist) said on FoxNew's News Watch program that, if he came upon an accident, he would see whether he could render aid and then turn on him camera. After all, he went on to say, the job of the journalist is to get the story and that supersedes helping victims of the story.

Why else would the terrorists as Belsan call, of all places, the New York Times?

The terrorist masterminds are media-savvy and they are working the media to their own advantage. The media are willing pawns. Hey, it's for the story, after all!

Why not, they support the terrorists, who they call insurgents. Thus they are more than happy to provide the video equipment, and the terrorists are happy to have them there.
