 :::::After beeing accused as ""gratuitous"", ""anonymousity"" and ""unsigned commentary"" and for the second time >>Image:Nguyen.jpg|right|thumb|450px| ""All are equal, but some are more equal than others"" - Showing American's beheading is to brutal, showing Vietnamese's execution is acceptable. Sophie   << beeing deleted by   I know, as an IP the fundamental principle ""Asume goog faith"" does not apply -(   But I am making a well-intentioned effort to help. So please, give some thought to the question: What would have been James Foley's reaction? Would he have clamored for self-censorship and media blackout? As a war correspondent, photo journalist, cameraman?

 :::::Quote:""Would that have been Foley’s reaction? Would he have clamored for self-censorship and a media blackout? Or would he have wanted decent people everywhere to know — and, yes, to see — the crimes being committed by the ruthlessly indecent killers calling themselves the Islamic State?   

 :::::The intrepid and compassionate reporter from New Hampshire didn’t travel to Syria to sanitize and downplay the horror occurring there. He went to document and expose it. The 4-minute, 40-second video that records the last moments of Foley’s life may be slick jihadist propaganda designed to intimidate ISIS’s enemies and recruit more zealots to its cause. But it is also a key piece of the news story that Foley risked everything to pursue. That story cost him his life. The least we can do is bear witness to the courage and dignity with which he met his awful end. 

 :::::Anyone with a heart understands why Foley’s anguished loved ones would want his murderers’ gloating depravity to be suppressed. When The Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Pearl was beheaded by Al Qaeda in 2002, his family issued a similar plea. “We should remove all terrorist-produced murder scenes from our Web sites and agree to suppress such scenes in the future,” urged Daniel’s father, the scientist Judea Pearl, in a published essay.  

 :::::But we will never prevail over an enemy as barbaric and totalitarian as the Islamic State if we avert our gaze from what it does to those it vanquishes. There are times when it is necessary to see... James Foley didn’t hide from that unvarnished truth. The rest of us shouldn’t either.""
