This is a note from Documentingreality....Same thing happened with Liveleak. Youtube as well was threatened.
"As you may know, due to the recent downtime, we were forced to remove the James Foley video. This is the first time in the sites history that the server plug was pulled due to content. We were down 4 days because of that video.
For some reason, that video has caused a government shit storm across the web, they are removing it as fast as people put it up.
I have never seen a video cause this much of a stir inside governments across the world and I have been doing this since the mid 90's.
I don't trust this Kenyan as far as I can throw him, absolutely no proof OBL is dead, an "English rapper" (what?) is beheading people and they refuse to show the actual beheading?
Disturbances in The Global Tranquility are unverified.
Caliph Baraq may be having them removed from US based websites, but it’s certainly “up” in Europe.
