What a fucking bunch of hypocrits.
Yes, the wounds are raw. Burying your heads in the sand and forgetting what it is we are up against only endangers us all.
AQ is in Iraq and was in Iraq before we invaded. There are sarin gas containing warheads in Iraq, too.

I don't post on this board at all and I'm the one who made the call that the pics violated the rule. I have no idea what the pics are or what there context is. I was asked about them, shown the post, and I saw a pic with burned corpses. I didn't even look at who posted it. All I know is that pictures containing depictions of graphic violence are
clearly against this website's rules. I don't care if it's a burned up american, israeli, muslim, or angus cow. Post a link/spree or it will be converted for you.
That's not censorship. It's courtesy to other posters who may not have as strong of a stomach for violence as you do. And even if you do consider it censorship, let me remind you that the First Amendment doesn't apply to these boards. The only thing that constrains anyone's speech here is the board's TOS, and on this point the TOS is clear.
ETA: I am obviously talking about the burned corpses pic. I don't think the jumper pics violate the graphic violence rule. They are extremely distasteful, but they don't depict graphic violence.
