Why would i want to watch the decapitation video? So that this guy isn't a sound bite.. isn't a 5 second grab on the news.. isn't just another statistic that numbs you to the reality.. It humanises the war-porn and de-videogames it.
if every soldier and every innocent Iraqi's daeth was televised we wouldn't be so easily rushed into going to war and killing far away brown people. I'm not suggesting we do this but I find places like cj to be an invaluable service and I don't begrudge them their money.

I agree.. seeing how horrific the death of one person can be, to think of the 1000's of people who have died in iraq, it's horrible.. and yes if they did televise every death that occured, I'd say the anti-war movement would grow
