FREE FALL TO THE BOTTOM -- BUT NOT ON TV?
So the Islamazoids behead an American, putting the video on the web, and that's too gruesome to put on television (except Arabic television). But the world's media have no problem broadcasting the images of American soldiers' idiotic sadism with Iraqi prisoners. What's the deal?
UPDATE: In case my point is too subtle, this makes it clear.
UPDATE: I suppose it's not so obvious to those who have no sense of moral balance. For them, I say go here (where you'll find stills from the beheading video):
Regarding the issue of alleged prisoner abuse, which served as the pretext for this exercise in Islamic justice, I have a modest proposal: no prisoners.
And I curse the prison guards in question, the people in the Pentagon who leaked the photos from the prison, the media who broadcast those images, and the politicians who have used this issue for political gain, all of whom have acted without regard for the consequences.
Nick Berg's blood is on all of them. May they all rot in hell.
I don't agree with this sentiment, but I understand it.
