I’ve seen the Pearl execution video. As soon as I can I’ll make it available for downloading just because I don’t think the government should have any right to stop me from viewing what I want. Certainly, as horrible and disgusting as the video is you can see worse things on rotten.com, and it does reflect the horrors of violence. I think if we were confronted with the gruesome images of warfare and terrorism more often violent military or terrorist actions would lose support. Pearl’s Pakistani executioners certainly displayed an inhuman degree of brutality and cold-bloodedness. I’m curious as to why the FBI would try to stop this video when it does everything to galavanize the public against violent Islamic extremists. From the Wired News article:
Ted Hickman, the owner of Pro Hosters, said the FBI insisted the video be removed immediately and that agents also wanted the identity of the person who runs the ogrish.com site.
“I said that of course I can’t release anything without a subpoena,” Hickman said. “They said they needed the content offline as soon as possible. I called back and I spoke to both him and his supervisor. Both assured me that it was illegal to post anything related to obscenity.”
Sandra Carroll, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Newark office, said “the local office did investigate certain aspects” of the Internet distribution of the Pearl video.
Carroll said she was not that familiar with the investigation, and only knew that “some type of law was quoted in terms of a violation.”
Carroll said she would investigate what charges, if any, could be filed.
The contours of the FBI’s investigation are anything but clear. A 1996 federal obscenity law exists, but it only applies to work that “appeals to the prurient interest” — and Pearl’s video, as disturbing as it might be, is hardly sexual.
Until I can decide whether to put the video up on the website you can download it here. You should be forewarned that this is a video of a violent execution. Pearl is forced to tell the camera that he is a jew and that his parents are zionists and then he is killed and his corpse beheaded. This is powerful and brutal stuff. You might be better off not viewing it, but that decision is YOURS alone and not a decision of the government or the FBI. This is what goes on in this crazy world which has no respect for the sanctity of life or for liberty and brotherhood.
Seeking to spin the story Wired News received the following from an FBI spokesperson ie. a professional liar.
(Editor’s Note: After this story was edited, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Carroll called Wired News to say the bureau was merely giving advice to websites hosting the Pearl video — and was not threatening prosecution. She said: “Apparently the conversation with [FBI agent] Jay Kanetkar has been similar to other conversations with other website hosts, appealing to have various of those photos removed. Apparently there is another website here in the U.S. which Jay did not name, both of which were more than happy to voluntarily remove the photos without question.”) Julia Scheeres contributed to this report.
