You don't actually watch him die since they goofed when they originally severed his head, and had to reshoot and pretend to be severing his head.

Many times people tried to post a link of Pearl's beheading here only to have the threads pulled.

John Derbyshire made a similar case
here.

I could not even bring myself to search for that link...it's nightmore! did you watch it?
To: knighthawk
The author probably would not have watched if he had been my neighbor who grew up near the Pearl family and whose brother was in Daniel's wedding. He remains horrified and traumatized.

I bit the bullet and watched it. It was very disturbing to me because of the seething hatred I could feel for us coming from the murderers. I felt very bad for Daniel Pearl, of course, but was more horrified by the fact that there are people on this planet evil enough to do what they did. Thank goodness they closed his eyes, at least.

I've seen it.
If you want to insert a little reality in your life watch it, then remember that he has a baby and wife at home.
Just be thankful my finger isnt on the button, I would have dropped a couple nukes by now.
People to often think we have to be merciful when in fact the correct response is vengeful justice.

Paid4This: "Should I be able to watch footage of the jumpers from the WTC, or perhaps more importantly, of the area where many of them landed, called "an abattoir" by witnesses?"
American mass media: "No, because that might make you want to go to war to avenge their deaths."

I have seen the video. It is brutal, yes, but it is not a Hollywood production. It's real. I think it should be made available to all who wish to view it.

Saw it. It is not of the actual execution but shows a few seconds of them beheading the corpse.

But by glimpsing the unedited, absolute perimeter of what humans have done to ourselves, we can not only comprehend the fragility of security, life, civility and happiness but gird our determination to defend them against their foes. By these words alone.... the title of this thread is answered.
By these words alone.... our standards not falter
by these words alone... we proffer doom upon those who would have our lives forfeit
By these words alone....you shall not trespass my country again.
To: knighthawk
No, Thanks.
I have already seen the 'clean-up' of the Nazi deathcamps.
I will watch the hanging of Pearl's murderers, if it happens.
The pukes who murdered Pearl deserve a tall tree and a short rope.

Watching it will not make me want to destroy the vermin who did this any more than I do now. I'll pass.
To: Orual
The brutal beheading of the russian soldier by islamic chechen bastards is ten times more brutal. i was horrified by both, but glad i viewed them. you have to know the enemy....our enemy is evil. if you dont know who or what youre dealing with, you wont now how to deal with the enemy.
in this case the option is uncompromising, overwhelming force...we have yet to retaliate in my opinion....if we had retaliated properly ...Mecca would be no more. Bastards.

Every Arab capitol should have dissolved in a cauldron of nuclear fire on September 12th, 2001. Because this did not happen, it's now an even bet whether or not Western civilization will survive.

I downloaded several versions, but have not watched it. I don't intend to watch it, but it is important history and should be preserved. Maybe if it will help sway someone to view life as it really is, then I will view it with them.

I firmly believe we should live up to our title of "great satan" and rain nuclear fire from the heavens on the true INFIDELS the islamists. Let's fry the middle east and drill for oil in nuclear survival suits.
