Yes, because it increases public support for military action. Just look at the on the first page:
I hope we kill'em all
God that is fucking sick. If they did something else, if I were George Bush (thank God I'm not) I would just nuke the motherfuckers. Of course, there would be a lot of Collateral Damage....

Right, so knowing that the men who commited the act were part of Al-Qaeda, is'nt proof enough for you?[/quote:3d28f]
Green, why do you persist in making pointless comments. As I said it doesn't prove anything. There is no proof in that video that Al-Qaeda committed the act. But there are other issues at stake here, such as the importance attached to certain news articles. Do you not read the posts?
[quote:3d28f]...do you seriously think that opinions have just been formed because of that tape? [/quote:3d28f]
Yep. Just look at the posts in this thread.
[quote:3d28f]...do you seriously think we are not aware of the ongoing carage in the Middle East? [/quote:3d28f]
I don't think most people here really appreciate what carnage is. I'm no expert on it, but my family has lived through great suffering during the Communist period and I was there to witness it first hand. When people speak of blowing people up, they don't understand what the means, let alone the political issues at stake.

No, I just expect news agencies to take on a proper role in bringing information to the masses. Information that matters and is backed up with valid sources. This has nothing to do with conspiracy theories. In fact, quite the opposite. I request proof.
