SHOULD THE U.S. SHOW THE PEARL MURDER VIDEO ON T.V.?

March 6, 2002

Not that I would watch but I think it should be shown. Espeically to every stupid big mouth that says we have to be nice to the occupants of camp xray.

Split the screen show the humane way Pearl was treated by his captures and the inhumane way our "guest at Guantanamo" are treated.

While we are at it make sure we sent it to the French.

Sorry but I think a public airing of this tape would be a good dose of reality for all the bleeding heart whining peace niks out there.

[contessa machiaveli]

it would be disturbing to anyone with an ounce of humanity but america must be shocked into reality. i couldn't watch.

[gc4nra]

It should be required viewing for all students and professors in the University of California System, starting with Berkeley! Oh yeah, and Barbara Lee should be forced to watch it too!

Daniel Pearl was a civilian and that makes his death twice as heinous. The kidnappers made the video because they wanted it to be seen. We should at least deny them this satisfaction. Everyone who needs to be convinced is already on board.

When the Army could not catch the Apache renegade Delshay they announced a reward for his head. Two heads were delivered and both parties insisted that they had delivered the correct noggin. Since both parties were earnest in their beliefs and on the assumption that whoever belonged to the other wouldn't really mind and probably deserved his fate, both parties were paid.

About the same time a reward was put on the head of the Apache Chief Chunz. SIX heads were delivered and displayed on the parade ground. Apparently five guys picked the wrong night to sit in on a poker game. War is organized barbarity. Everyone should know about it but not all should see it.

You and I might not, but it is not about us conservatives. The liberals and moderates do need to be constantly reminded on what we are fighting and why we all must suffer through this.

I think showing it is disrespectful for Mr. Pearl's family, but as we all know "if you wanna make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs..."

[Right_in_Virginia]

Understand.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Sadly, Daniel Pearl's murderers may be set free by the Pakistani government which claims it has no case against them. And while the U.S. government has made it clear that we want to extradite Omar, the passion to follow through on this may wane as the public moves on to other concerns."

As much as it boggles my mind and hurts my soul...okay.

Thanks for showing me the larger picture.

This guy is a media weasel!!!

From all the accounts I've read, Daniel Pearl wasn't any sort of weasel.

[RangeRatt]

Should this video be shown? NO. Will copies wind up shown ? YES. Will the person or persons responsible for releasing the copies be prosecuted? PROBABLY NOT. God keep Daniel's family....Shalom and Amen

[HairOfTheDog]

They SHOULD NOT show it, but if they did, I would watch it.

[inflorida]

I'd suggest a trip to rotten.com first to see if you could stomach watching this video.

Unfortunately, I stumbled across that web site about a year ago and my morbid curiousity got the best of me. I am still trying to get some of those images out of my head.

Hi

I got some $1 DVDs..haven't seen if they work yet. Also a fake Kate Spade bag for a friend for $6. they had everything.... you might as well spend $6 on a fake Prada bag made of cheap vinyl instead of $500 for a real Prada bag--made of cheap vinyl.... some of the fakes were exellent.

Also I saw a fake S600 (merceds) which was hilarious..made by one of the 200 car makers in china.... it even had the single wiper...but it was called a "Chairman."

Didn't see any fake porshes, but LOTS of top drawer mercedes in Beijing, which were no doubt stolen from Hong Kong and Taiwan...and San Diego. My mom's friend in Taiwan had his Benz stolen which sucks since Taiwan has a 100% tariff on foreign cars.

Show it. Those still in denial, need to understand what we're up against.

Split the screen show the humane way Pearl was treated by his captures and the inhumane way our "guest at Guantanamo" are treated.

Although I don't think I could watch the video, I completely agree with your above statement.

[Bobby777]

yes ... it's a horrible thing ... but I think the sheeple have no concept of how dangerous and ruthless these people are ... despite 9/11 and the daily news coming out of the Sudan and Israel, etc....

[Brytani]

Yes it needs to be shown, just as the most graphics pictures/video from 9-11 need to be shown. People need to see what we are up against, what type of "people" we are dealing with. What they will do then dance in the streets about. Way to many people in the US and around the world DON'T GET IT!!!!!! And they will not get it until it's slammed into their faces.

Secondly, it wasn't until people starting seeing movies and pictures from the holocaust before people REALLY got what was going on there. 50 years later those same images serve to remind us of what humans are capable of and why we need to wage war to stop another hitler. The tapes from 9-11 and Danny Pearls execution will have the same lasting effect.

[not-an-ostrich]

Don't show it. The tape has a 30 second cut. The decapitation is horrid enough, but the 30 second cut is more than likely the truly barbaric part where it has been reported the terrorists held his severed head up by the hair, slap his face, his eyes open and his mouth moves. This they will never show. If they won't show it ALL it showed not be shown. Just like the barbaric mob killing of the Afgan Tourism Minister was whitewashed and blamed on a conspiracy. If they refuse to show the total barbarism, then show none.

[inflorida]

The tape has a 30 second cut.

As in cut, you are referring to his throat? I had not heard about that...it is sickening.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Those sick sick monsters. I can't even think about it.

Televise all Death Row executions on Pay-Per-View and give the proceeds to crime victims. After they are executed give their organs to crime victims, children, etc.
