Something is just wrong about promoting a snuff film, I don't give a shit who's being killed in it.

1. This is faux news idea of pornography. They love having a circle jerk.

6. And yet many here were defending the CNN sniper video.
Funny.

9. I forgot about that.
Isn't showing Saddam being placed in a noose the same as showing snipers target US personnel?

If I had to say, the Saddam execution really has no news value, on the other hand when you think about the sniper video, it showed what one of the major problems in Iraq is. That's valuable to us as we make our decisions as sovereigns.

11. Well I didn't defend them, and I don't speak for everyone here.
So shove it. I'm tired of people reading a few posts here and accusing eveyrone else of group-think.

7. To be fair, I don't think it could have been stopped
If there was a video of it, it would have been on Youtube within hours, regardless of who provided it.

We live in a voyeuristic world, where everything must be seen to be real.

If there are pictures of Princess Diana's death, there will be videos of Saddam's death.

It's inevitable. It's human nature.

10. How come nobody felt this way about the WTC?
3000 INNOCENT people died in that "snuff film", but where are the complaints about that?

12. Are you serious? 9/11 was an attack on our country. Hussein was our prisoner....
9/11 was the biggest news story of our lives.

Hussein was our prisoner.

There is a difference, and if you don't understand what that difference was, it's not my job to teach you. Get a clue.
