Undoubtedly, that tape needs to be made available for the public to see

Why? Is it not enough that the man is dead, but we have to have the "right" to watch him be killed?

Its hard to figure out whether he is just anxious to see a snuff film or whether he wants to foment anti-islamic violence here in the US.

I can just about guarantee that unless some Pakistani sells a copy of this to "Entertainment Tonight" or some equivalent trash outlet, this will not be shown in the US. Nor should it. Its only purpose is to titillate or inflame.

What does this have to do with whether Musharraf can survive? I think he's going to get tons of support from the US. He's in better shape now than he was when we started bombing Afghanistan.

Showing the video of Pearl being killed by having his head cut off would be a slap in the face for many adult Americans. It might wake them up. They might understand what this is all about.

THIS TAPE will put the LIE to the notion that ISLAM IS A PEACEFUL RELIGION...

I don't know where you're from, but in many part of America, and sadly, middle America especially, people are going soft on the war on terror. The video needs to be shown to shock people awake. Ditto for much of the suppressed footage taken at the WTC site on 9-11. I talked to a group of well-educated professionals today, and no one in the group knew Pearl had been decapitated. I would say that knowledge changed everyone's perception of the event. It's sad but true - the video needs to be shown.

If we have to play the tape, so that the average American will know what we are up against, play the damned tape! It's sad that we would need to do that, we should already be aware of the nature of our enemy, however our own press is on their side, and that is why we have to shock the American public back into reality.

I think that there are many out there that still need to be made aware of exactly the type of people we are dealing with here. For that reason, I believe it necessary to air the tape.

And if you don't want to watch it...CHANGE THE F-ING CHANNEL!!!. I will never understand why when one person doesn't want to watch, it means no one can.
