Terrorist Propaganda and LiveLeak

The image above was posted to LiveLeak yesterday evening, with the caption:
"Traitors get justice... comming soon to a theater near you"

There is no accompanying video, and one can only assume there will be (or has been) a mass execution of the people in the photograph, to be released in video format on LiveLeak at a later date.

While the goal of LiveLeak may seem noble on it's surface, one must ask at what point a line has been crossed. The volume of insurgent snuff-films and terror propaganda videos found at western owned and operated websites is staggering, and on the rise.

These videos propagate the terrorist's message of hate, are useful for recruiting and perhaps even contribute to their financing through revenue sharing programs at such sites as Google Video, YouTube, Meta Cafe, Revver, Panjea and Eefoof.

One can only hope that the NSA and other government agencies are keeping close tabs on these sites, and tracking the people who are regularly posting these videos of executions, torture and attacks on coalition forces... but I wouldn't want to bet on it.
