This is the most gruesome thing I have ever seen on a news source! Why publish this? Is it to get the message across that Mid-East violence is awful? Enough already--I get it!

You get it, and I get it, but you'd really be surprised at the number of dumbasses there are in this country that still don't get it.

Oh, you guys are getting all carried away. It's just a skit - the guy's actually inside a manhole with just his head sticking out. The guys in the suits are singing old Devo songs.

History has records of placing a head of an enemy on a stick. I suggest the Israelis place this head on a pig and photograph it for all time. Put it in leaflets to be dropped all over Palestinian territory. Let the future bomber know a contest will be had with each bombers head recovered after a bombing. Do not return any of the bombers remains. Never

That's just the excuse. The real reason they post these things is because they get their jollies looking at pictures of dead and dying people. They never seem to think of the pain it could cause, say, this man's mother or daughter to run across the picture of his head on the internet. Even if this head happens to have belonged to the suicide bomber, my point still stands in general.

It's also done for shock value -- the poster somehow forgot to post "warning graphic photos" or something similar when they first made the post this afternoon.

Oh, and don't ever criticize them for posting these photos. They'll wrap themselves in the flag and tell you how America will forget if we don't see this pictures, blah, blah, blah.

The problem is most folks do not get it. On 9-11 the news channels admitted to censoring the photos of all the people falling and jumping from the twin towers and other buildings.

At least his head is in one piece for identification. From what I hear on FOX News, there are thousands of pieces of people still being dug up at ground zero that are being tested using DNA for identification.

I am tired of censored news as it might upset the Public!!!!! It is time to show what the "face" of terrorism looks like as well as the aftermath. This is what the USA will look like if we do not win the war on terrorism, or until every American converts to Islam.
