Middle Eastern Executions: A Must See on the Internet!

After 9/11, I remember it started with the execution by beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl. Most people that I knew at the time, were checking out the video online. I refused because I think its despicable, these are images that I just didn't want in my head. That was over five years ago, and the Internet and videos have done nothing but grow.

Just last week, the video of Iraqi police officers being shot in the head in a field by members of al-Qaida affiliated groups surfaced to much controversy. The video was originally posted online by the group. Though viewing these videos are more accepted in our culture than crazy pornography (in my experience, you are more likely to hear someone openly discuss a beheading video than the most recent porno that they downloaded). It is just despicable and though I do not believe in much censorship on the Internet, I just do not want to be exposed to that stuff. I would support a measure to limit the way those videos are distributed digitally.
