I agree - there's no need to broadcast his death.

some here are arguing that America "needs" to see this - so that we will realize what a terrible religion Islam is, so that American's will "wake up".

well, I'm sorry - but that's total B.S. - putting this video out for mass consumption is not only degrading to Mr. Pearl and his family, but it's exactly what the terrorists want.

I disagree with you on that's what the terrorists want, our news media has grown rather soft lately, deciding what we should and should not see.
And as usual with the passing of time the anger has started to subside, with people once again growing complacent.
Thats what the terrorists want, for us to grow complacent again, so they can hit us again. Those bastard Abu Sayeef Muslims in the Phillipines decapitated a Phillipino soldier and filmed it, as is their custom (muslim fanatic custom) The Phillipine government broadcast it to the people so the people could see what they are up against....Evil Barbarians.
There was thread on Free Republic that led me to a Quicktime movie of a Russian soldier having his his throat slashed slowly then he was decapitated by those Darned Peaceful Muslims, while it was probably one the most horrific acts I have ever seen, it made my resolve against these fanatical bastards even more steadfast.
