Crash, I read several studies done about media bias during his beheading. According to lexus-nexus searches, the prison-abuse story received about 5 times as much coverage and it was TWO WEEKS OLDER. The day after he was beheaded, the major media gave much more attention to what was happening with the Iraqi prisoners. The reasons are obvious to me...

and by having these videos available, and us watching them, we're helping their cause. Do you not think that they're getting way more aid than they should because they're still at the center of attention? If we say, "Okay, no more international help until you clean up your own mess, and actually followed through with that, I'd like to think that they'd be dragging these guys down the street shouting 'allah' faster than you can say mud."

But I don't know much about international politics. I'm just a dreamer.
