One thing good about having "questionable" sanity is the ability to form opinions without the restraint of "fairness" or "reason".

I guess this is good, but every video link I've seen blacks out before they show them killing him.
Go to Consumption Junction, it is over there. However do not go to that site while at work as it does contain alot of X-rated material.

Still ignoring your own advice?
For what it's worth, I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't deja vu all over again. GL and the Civil War crowd (like Trav) would know more about it than I, but if memory serves, the Civil War was really the first major conflict to actually be photographed (am I thinking of a photographer named Brady?) And pictures, unlike paintings, don't glamorize it. The ugliness of the Civil War was captured in a lot of those photographs.
I wonder if the internet and mass media isn't doing to the same thing here. I mean, as tragic as all of these things are, they aren't new by any means. My dad was stationed in Libya in the 1950s, and he saw his first decapitation there. And his second. And his third. And so on (not of Americans, but of criminals, or at least alleged criminals). Atrocities have occurred in all wars, they will continue. Only in the past we couldn't link to them in real time.
Again, I'm not trying to justify what happened, it is terrible to be sure, but people are so worked up over it, and it's happened before (and will happen again).

Sometimes you need to stop being so rational, it let's the air out of the balloons I send up.
Personally I don't care to see it. It's out there for those who want to. But of course our media is goign to exploit the prison abuse as much as possible.
Kind a related here: This is an excerpt from one of the liberal sites I lurk on.

I'm not sure what video they're watching, but the one I watched continued on from the one Yahoo posted. I checked it frame by frame, and it is definitely a continuation.
Unless at some point there was editing done when the camera man moved in too close at one point, and was blurry....he was alive.
The video I watched over 15 times in it's entirety, and certain times, repeated frames
