Daniel Pearl Video on the Internet. Freedom Of Speech? Awareness? Snuff-Film?

Mass objective-ism is dead, as I've learned in the past few days. I read and hear journalists, editorialists, and radio personalities proudly waving the red "snuff film" flag. However a gruesomely sad memorium for Daniel Pearl's friends and family, this triggers a sense of wonderment at whom the legal actions are currently in focus on... the websites posting the video clip. Have we already forgotten who committed the crimes of kidnapping and murder? I think I smell a witch burning.

CENSORSHIP?
Rotten.com removed the file upon request by the FBI and possibility of being sued by the Pearl family. Ogrish.com, from NL, had the file removed by his ISP who seems to have been muscled by the FBI outside D.C., in Virginia. ConsumptionJunction remains one of the few at this date with the clip in place, will the the "legal team" keep it there? This situation could be *the* important freedom of speech event for the Web.

REMEMBER THE CRIME.
The clip is unbelievable, gross, and shows just how these insane people "work". Now, we know that dealing with these people as fellow civilized humans isn't possible. This video documents this horror better than any verbal speech that could be given. Watch it if you wish, but by all means, don't hide it and pretend this atrocity didn't happen. In memory of Daniel Pearl... know that these animals must be cornered and snuffed-out themselves. Americans, know this... we cannot treat this enemy of the world as a political group. The enemy seeks nothing other than their own agenda, and values nothing else.

peace-
