Mosul bombing video! Should we post it?
Do you think we should post it on our website?
An emailer sent it to us!
It comes from Ogrish.com We aren't sure who they are but CBS did a story on it today.

Islamic Web site shows footage of attack on U.S. base in Mosul

Is this crossing the line?

5. It's not gory
or grotesque, just dismaying. It has the usual intro, hooded jackasses speechifying for the camera. Then a segment of a guy with a knife pointing out details on a map. Hugs for the bomber from his comrades. Long shot of the tent, then BOOM, the roof on the far side blows out. No sound.

2. I wouldn't do it.
Then again, I'm squeamish.

What would be your motive? Just to draw people to your site?

6. We get a lot of traffic already
We like to use video as a way to show what's going on in the world.
It's not bloody or anything like that. We aren't trying to promote suicide bombing, just keep our viewers informed. That's why we are asking for opinions on it.
