Not sure what you're suggesting there 
Any evidence so far this video is fake?
Which you were free to not watch. Why should those who wish to be deprived? Could be someone watching the tape recognizes a perpetrator. Who decides what truths be told?

Are the iraqi guys who *made the video* and *gave it to al jazeera* trying to say it's entrapment and they really didn't do it?
Please stick with reality - the vid was put online for publicity, traffic and profit, and it's being watched for shock value / entertainment.
If there really was any doubt about whether the beheading happened ornot, though, a vid posted on cj.com wouldn't take away that doubt, since vids can be faked quite easily.
What I'm suggesting is that it would be better if information was available but people chose not to distribute it as entertainment. Quite simple, really.
You're trying to make it sound like I'm trying to support censorship, but that's not the case. I'm not saying cj shouldn't have the *right* to put this online, I'm saying it's sad and disgusting that they put something like this online purely for financial gains. Just like I'm not saying people shouldn't have the *right* to watch it, but that watching it for entertainment is sick and pathetic.
Think of it this way: people should have the right to be assholes, but that doesn't make being an asshole a good thing.
