When Will Terror Videos be Banned
The FBI currently has its shorts in a wad over the numerous Web sites featuring the short but poignant last moments of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Clearly, as our War on Terrorism(tm) progresses, it is not unlikely that terrorists will kidnap and kill more Americans and email video clips of their last twitches to the media, and it is not unlikely that various web sites specializing in stomach-turning will place them online for public viewing. Creation, sale, or possession of child porn is illegal. Creation, sale, or possession of depictions of animals being harmed in an illegal manner is illegal as well. It seems unlikely that creation, sale, or possession of depictions of Americans being harmed in an illegal manner by political extremists will remain legal for long. When this happens, will this mean that the First Amendment is then officially brain dead, and may be disconnected from life support, and anything will be able to be banned, because "We're at War." When the inevitable law is written, where will the ACLU and EFF stand? Are they willing to take the heat and be labeled as supporters of terrorists? I bet if you polled the Sheeple today, they would be more than happy to give life in prison to anyone who looks at the Pearl video and snickers inappropriately. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
