Video of American hostage pleading for his life in Iraq

It's not violent of anything, though it is pretty sad to watch. He says he doesn't want help from Bush because he "knows of his(Bush's) selfishness and unconcern for those who have been pushed into this hellhole."

1. I can't watch it...it will make me ill
It's outrageous that humanbeings in the year 2005 still engage in such barbaric and primitive methods to gain control. You'd think we would have evolved beyond that by now. WTF is wrong with people?

2. Heard it on the radio going home from work today...
It did not sound like he was coerce into making the statement that way.

I am sure that others will be convinced that his statement was dictated exactly as given.

6. This man will be executed.
The Bush Junta will not do anything to help him.

Note: I am in no way condoning this action by the "Insurgents". I strongly feel this and other such actions are playing into the hands of the Bush Junta.
