CNN should show all of these videos. Maybe then the hand-wringers will realize the kind of people we are up against.

Robertson said he doubts CNN will show what appears to be a promotional video out of Bosnia showing a severed human head rolling through grass.

You think!?

This ain't "Bowling fer Dollars" y'know...

Most welcome. As to a pic, that's up to you. Look at my profile. I'm net shy on the personal stuff--figuring why make it too easy. See ya around....

Show these videos and remind America that Clinton Democrats helped these same Bosnian Muslims kill Christian Serbs and Croats during an election year?

I have mixed feelings about this. Anything that convinces people of the inhuman brutality of terrorists is a good thing. On the other hand, respect for the innate dignity of human beings, including the man whose head this was, argues against it.

It's like Holocaust photos. I can't stomach looking at them. I feel that in some ways they exploit the victims, and I don't feel the need to see them. I saw some of them once, many years ago as a child, and that was enough. But if they have converted some people from knee-jerk anti-semitism, maybe it's justified.

You have to wonder about CNN's motives in not showing this particular picture. Concern for human dignity? Concern not to damage the reputation of their Arab friends? Who knows?

These tapes should be used as evidence against the traitors from Buffalo.

Thinks CNN is wrong.They should not only show the head rolling across the grass.They should show the video of the jumpers at the WTC so we never forget the horror they inflicted upon us.I cannot fathom how you decide to jump over a 1,000 feet to your death to avoid being burned alive.That horror needs to remain fresh so that we remember what we are fighting for.

Mostly Serbs though. The head rolling is a Serb, already identified.

Well, no of course not.

We might upset the kiddies.

And Americans should be kept in the dark about the true nature of the threat to us and the rest of the world.

Otherwise, we might get upset and skip Christmas shopping.

I think the media should show us these photos. Part of the media thinks its in bad taste, but some of the media thinks that it will instill anger and resolve in the American people, and they can't have that.

FOX News is still the only network that has shown jumpers from the WTC.
