CBS is now airing snuff videos and calling it news. What a total piece of crap that organization is: CBS showed less than 30 seconds of the video - a portion where Pearl was forced to say he was Jewish. Anchor Dan Rather said the story was aired because CBS News believes it important for Americans to see the impact of the propaganda war being waged against the United States. In a statement, Pearl's family, said that while Rather "attempts to rationalize the network's heartless decision to air this despicable terrorist propaganda video, it is beyond our comprehension that any mother, wife, father or sister should have to relive this horrific tragedy and watch their loved one being repeatedly terrorized." "Terrorists have made this video confident that the American media would broadcast it and thereby serve their exact purpose," the statement said. nypost.com

Re: "How exactly is it unpatriotic? You are not qualified to make the statement." Actually, I am uniquely qualified because because I am an American taxpayer who intends to remain an American taxpayer, unlike Stanley Tools. You're stuck in quicksand. The more you argue Stanley's "right" to flee the shores of America to save on its tax liability the more submerged you become in the obscene cesspool known as Big Business Ethics. We're in the midst of fighting foreign terrorists ... billions of dollars a day ... and you're defending a company's "right" to move offshore to it can contribute LESS to America's cause of freedom. If you don't like paying the price of freedom and liberty, move your sorry ass to Bermuda, too.
