The torchure at Abu-Ghraib wasn't planned or executed under the pretense of being a religious act like this beheading was. It was merely the publicizing of what secret services and military intelligence have been doing for decades...

Then why wasn't there such a huge outcry when David Perl was beheaded and the whole thing was video taped? Does it happen to be that one happened in Iraq where all these barbarians live and the other was in Pakistan where... ooops shhhh.... don't say it.... we need Pakistan's support to whoop Afghanistan.... SHHHHHH.....

Seen both in footage and in real life neither is pretty but part of life and human nature...

Someone found me out... Case and point... you can't deal with mangled bodies in accidents and dead folks if you don't accept it as part of life and in a sense don't numb over it.
Worst case I ever wittnessed was a drunk bastard that ran over a mom walking on the sidewalk with 3 kids killing all of them.Anywho... This one was worse than the beheading (not to sound messed up) but they were both criminal acts with a similar outcome .... of sorts...

Again... it is your choice... Why watch something knowing what to expect (to see a man get beheaded in a brutal and dilletant way) if you condemn the act and proclaim it is disgusting?
