So, you are giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, Good for you! I'm not, so we'll have to agree to disagree, unless of course you are actually trolling, which your argument switching looks very much like.
Did i say the pics on the site were incendiary? No. (Although most probably illegal under the Geneva Convention)
Did i say the tape that he gave to the media was? Yes.
Did i say that the release of this tape will put Allied troops in danger? Yes.
I stand by my assertions, i stand by the anti-war activist comment and that i think this is a set up.
As i said, the tape may have been editied, there is now a military investigation, so i suggest you wait and see.
You say he's targeting a particular market? Well there's good money in slamming the US military, just ask Michael Moore.

There's just not yet enough evidence (that I'm aware of) for me to make up my mind about Sites, so it may end up that we don't disagree.
Did i say the pics on the site were incendiary? No. (Although most probably illegal under the Geneva Convention)...Did i say the tape that he gave to the media was? Yes.
Didn't say you said they were. Don't know about the Geneva Convention but am of the opinion that the footage pales in comparison to the pre-meditated murder depicted in the beheading videos.
Did i say that the release of this tape will put Allied troops in danger? Yes.
I'm not so sure although I can see the tape being used as an 'excuse' for what some heathen was going to do anyway. OTOH, I'm not sure that the 'take no prisoners' msg that could be interpreted from the tape is a bad thing in the larger context.

And you may be right.

I meant to ask you about the tape being edited. The news of that went underneath my radar screen. Do you recall where you read/ heard that? I'm assuming that you don't mean the editing for American news.
You say he's targeting a particular market?
Not exactly. I'm saying that the anti-war faction is 'a' market, that I'm sure he could have submitted much more graphic images and photos that are inflamatory. Incidentally, the story behind those photos at images... is on his blog. Ends up that one of the blindfolded detainees invited some of the American military guys to dinner after it was all over.
