The decapitation videos are something that needed to be seen, to wake up those that like to swept islamofascism under the rug. That sort of horror must not be hidden so people can pretend it didn't happen- like the MSM not wanting to show the people jumping from the WTC. Not the same thing at all as a tabloid publishing private/personal pictures.
On second thought maybe they should publish pictures if there are any. Maybe people need to be reminded starving to death is no way "peaceful" or "beautiful".

Yes, I made myself watch the videos (Berg, Pearl, and Johnson and the 9/11 tape made by the two Frenchmen) to keep the anger and passion alive, though I have never seen anything more horrific and still have horrible nightmares at times.
People just want to walk away and talk about whose going to get voted off the island next or who wins on American Idol. Their complacency disgusts and alarms me. It's this complacency that allowed Mr. Schiavo to get to a point where he could order his wife's death.
This is a difficult one to call..the family has suffered so publicly already..
About the videos- I sent a link to my son a while back (he's 16) to a conservative website by the kid who started a conservative group for HS students. Well, the web page has links to the videos. I told my son I didn't expect him to watch them- but he misunderstood my email and watched the Berg video. I felt so bad! He was horrified- but he told me it made him angry and wanted to get the terrorists- and this played out later in that he gave a speech in speech class on why we must fight the war on terror (and he mentioned the video). I think he got an A on it, so I thought good- his whole class got a good lesson that day!
