Well, all this hub-bub about Daniel Pearl just wont go away. The Phoenix, a newspaper out of Boston, published pictures of his execution today. On their web version, they provided a link to the film the terrorists made.

Tired of hearing various commentaries about the whole situation, I decided to view the film. Its graphic, and clearly the guy is saying anything to save his life, which ultimately fails.

The link, http://prohosters.com/pearl/ has it.

Why post this? Well, it sure burns into your mind what we are dealing with, as this is more a propoganda video than anything. These, friends, are the small minds and attitudes we are dealing with now.

Again, watch at your own risk. Other than upsetting the tummy, the fact people are out there that want to kill us for what we stand for is all quite sobbering.

I refuse to watch it.

Seems the terrorists got their wish. This is exactly why they made the video.

I know him. Just waiting for the SOB to quit being a popsicle and fight like a man. Since all terrorists are skinny little dweebs with an IQ of roughly a pumpkin, it'll never happen. They'll just continue to take the chicken-shit method.

Once again a conservative attacks a poor defenseless vegetable- this time a pumpkin.
Isn't the terror these poor squashes have to go through every Halloween enough for you monsters? You rip out their guts, mutilate their shells with rediculous and insulting carvings, then you burn their insides with candles!
Now you insult them by comparing the noble pumpkin to a terrorist. How many suicide bombers are vegetables? NONE! How many vegetables have ever hijacked an airliner? NONE!
Just because some of your mommies made you eat everything on your plate is NO JUSTIFICATION for your anti-vegetable stance today. Quit abusing vegetables. And quit killing kittens- especially you, Animal.

Well I was like rip at first and didn't think it should be shown. I don't know why I watched it, I honestly wish I hadn't, but I think it was good that I did. It let's you know just how fanatical these people are. It's laced with propoganda while he speaks. Pictures of dead arab/muslim women and children (I'd bet murdered by arabs/muslims) Which would all be fine and dandy and maybe even believable, until they show them dismembering him and holding his lifeless head up. That's got to be the saddest thing I've ever seen. What the hell did he do to deserve that? oh yeah, nothing.

Our enemies are fanatical 7th century barbarians, this tape proves it. It at the very least shows that they will show us no quarter, if we didn't already know that. Hopefuly people will learn this and we will start dealing with them in the way they should be delt with, overwelming force of arms. Maybe thier survivors will learn the lesson.....

The video is sick, but it should be viewed for the educational value alone.

Sorry to the his family, I know it must be unbairable

JMHO, but I think everyone should look at this vid. Especially whenever we begin to lose sight of the nature of the people we are dealing with.

They deserve no more mercy or thought than you offer a cockroach. Just exterminate them.

Man. My feelings of hatred are almost overwhelming after seeing that.

If it's jihad they want, jihad they shall have.

This is a letter from the CEO of the company that is hosting the video. I personaly think orgish.com is disgusting and I don't ever go there to see pictures of death. This letter hits home to me though. It gets to the very foundation of our way of life, freedom.

The terrorist think this video will scare us. I think the more people who view it, the more our nation will be angered and possibly take substantial action to stop this from heppening in the future....

To Whom It May Concern,

After great deliberation on behalf of Pro Hosters and myself personally, we have decided to post the Daniel Pearl video on http://prohosters.com/pearl

First, I would like to offer our most sincere condolences to the
Pearl family, our hearts go out to them in their time of grief.

From the beginning, it was never Pro Hosters’ intention to censor legal content displayed on one of its or one of its customers’ sites. We did not force ogrish.com to take down the content. We merely presented the facts as they unraveled themselves to the owners of ogrish.com. We alerted ogrish.com to the FBI’s insistence to take the content down. Ogrish.com made the only decision whether the content would stay in place or be deleted. They decided they would take it down.

Although they decided to take it down, it was the FBI’s intimidating requests to take it down that finally drove them to remove the content. Pro Hosters feels that we must stand up and protect our customer’s right to have this video shown. Yes, the video is horrible and macabre in nature however it is every person’s right to view this video if they CHOOSE to do so. This video shows the hand of terrorism that each of us faces, and shows the real (tragic though it may be) outcome of terrorists’ actions.

In my opinion it should not be hidden or swept under the carpet, it should be available to anyone who chooses to watch it. We have a right to see what terrorism can and will do to our nation, if it is not eradicated at the source.

The beauty of our country is that any American can deem what he wishes to be morally right or wrong based on his opinion and his judgment. It is for this reason that Pro Hosters has chosen to release the video in its entirety to the public. Under the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution all Americans have the right to free speech and freedom of press, whether you or I deem it moral or immoral.

We thank all of our supporters and the ACLU for standing behind us.

Sincerely,

Theodore D. Hickman Jr.
Pro Hosters L.L.C.
President/CEO

Agreed. The western world must be uninted and in this to the finish. They sure as hell will be.

It seems almost sureal that these individuals think that this kind of actions / video will cause the average American to support their cause. What they have done is just to give a graphic justification to hunt them down and see that they cannot perpetrate this type of act onm another human being. This is absolutely counterproductive to developing support for their "cause". It is nothing more than hate mongering and fuels the desire for reprisals.

Don't these idiots get it??? Americans are absolutely enraged by attacks on the helpless. This does nothing to make us feel ANY sympathy for them or ther "goals".

Apache, I agree fully.

Found another site bragging it hasn't been asked to take its own down. It and the rest of the garbage it puts up.
