It's not about news to CBS, it's about ratings.

In an on-air explanation, anchor Dan Rather said the story was aired because CBS News believes it important for Americans to see the impact of the propaganda war being waged against the United States.

TRANSLATION: In an on-air explanation, anchor Dan Rather said the story was aired because CBS News believes it important for....their ratings.

This conflicts with earlier reports such as UPI: "They said Pearl was still talking to his captors when one of them beheaded him from behind."

I don't watch CBS news, but I fail to see how showing the world the kind of barbarians we are dealing with could be all that bad -- especially if they restrained themselves from showing the most gruesome parts.

As most of us 'get on with our lives' it can't hurt to occasionally be visually reminded why thousands of our military are overseas, and to see the mentality of the enemies they face.

The Pearl tape is not the only piece of "pornography of violent gore" going around the entire islamic world. There is also another one I know of: the video made by the "Bosnian" muslim savage Nasir Oric, showing him and his cutthroats cututing off the heads of innocent Serbian farmers in the region of Srebrenica. The cowardly muslim hyenas would hide in the "UN protected zone" of Srebrenica by day, and would sneak out at night to do their grisly work. This "convenient" arrangement lasted until General Mladic attacked the PHONY "safe zone", sending the terrorists flying for safety. (Oric now runs a club in Tuzla.) The "internationalcommunity" labels Mladic and Karadzic as "war criminals", while the slasher/porno film-star Oric gets off scot-free.

It's my guess that A LOT MORE THAN TWO of these sadistic perversion videos are making the rounds of the islamic world. We Americans need to know the true, satanic extent to which the islamic extremists hate not only us, but also all other Christians and Jews.

Does this mean that RatherBiased is going to change all his telecasts so that his "news"casts are no longer part of the propaganda war being waged against the United States?

Does anyone know how he covered the visit of x39 to Cuba?
