DVD Shows Gruesome Violence in Middle East
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,138828,00.html

NEW YORK — Producers of a DVD called "Buried in the Sand" warn it contains graphic depictions of torture, beatings and beheadings, but they say the images need to be seen.

The film — intended in part to counter Michael Moore's portrayal of pre-war Iraq in "Fahrenheit 9/11" — shows Iraqis being tortured (some at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison), publicly executed or mutilated by Saddam Hussein's henchmen.

Some Iraqis are shown being killed by firing squad or sword. The video also shows victims' arms being broken, fingers and hands being chopped off and tongues cut out.

Also featured are claims by some Palestinian children saying they want to become homicide bombers and kill as many "infidels" as possible. The decapitations of Americans Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg and Paul Johnson by Al Qaeda-linked terrorists in Pakistan and Iraq are also shown.

2. It would be fitting to show what is being done about it
The people who didn't like Saddam Hussein need to put out some videos of soldiers killing civilians in Fallujah recently. They can start with the footage from Democracy Now.

saying he wants to be a "homicide" bomber. That term is purely a Fox invention.

I wonder if this video contains images of the same activites (such as beheadings and amputations) being carried out in places like . . . say . . . our friends in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE, Yemen, etc.

4. Yeah, we attacked Iraq because of the beheadings
Remember?

Remember back in 2003, and Bush was talking about how disgusted he was with human rights abuses in Iraq?

Remember how Powell went before the UN to talk about the humanitarian issues in Iraq, and how they had mobile beheading facilities?

Remember how Tricky Dick Cheney got all choked up when he was describing how inhumane prisoners were being treated at Abu Ghraib pre-invasion?

Oh yeah, me neither.
