I was given a copy of the Al Jazeera tape of the US POWs a couple days ago, but I haven't watched it yet. I have a curiousity to watch, but somehow, it just doesn't feel right. Would you watch it or have you seen it?

Haven't seen it, could have as the Canadian stations up here have shown it, I don't have a desire to see it as it would only tick me off with no way to direct my anger.

Wouldn't watch; would only torque me off, with nowhere to release the pent-up steam.

Haven't watched it. I have a very small chance to be on a war crimes trial jury judging those Iraqis. I wouldn't want the defense to be able to prove I was biased.... :rolleyes: :cuss: :fire:

Not going to watch it. It has had the opposite of intended effect, BTW. I saw an interview by an American soldier on CNN who said in essence that since the atrocities have been publicized all his troops have decided to fight to the death rather than surrender.

I have zero desire to see POW's (of any nationality) get zapped after they have ceased resistance.

No thanks. If that was me over there I wouldn't want my family to see it either.

10 Ring. Listen to your inner voice ("it just doesn't feel right"). Unless your tasked with passing judgment on this incident, Don't waste your energy and emotion on veiwing the very lowest of human (and I use that term loosely) behavior.

I have the actual video broadcast capped on my computer, and have watched it. The decision to watch it is yours, but my recommendation would be not to......

Throw the tape in a raging fire and think of those POWs while you watch the flames consume it.
