I think it is great that these vids are shown, Mr and Mrs Average should see up close and personal what these animals are doing.
I agree that this video should be shown, but clearly the elections in Iraq are a much more important story today and video of the elections should have been shown before this AQ video. CBS lead with the terrorist video as part of their ongoing deceptive effort to make Iraq appear to be mainly engulfed in chaos and violence. This is a poorly disguised attack on the Bush Administration and an attempt to distort the truth about Iraq, which is that about 80% of the country is relatively peaceful and much less violent than during the brutal tyranny of Saddam's regime. CBS News rarely has anything postive to say about Iraq. They present a totally biased and unbalanced view of Iraq and the US Military's efforts to rebuild that country. At this time, CBS News appears to be primarily a propaganda tool for the DNC and Democrat political leaders.
