NY Post runs giant picture of James Foley being beheaded

[Enrique]

I just saw it at the gas station, it was shocking. Now I'm imagining my reaction multiplied by all the other people who see that cover and I'm afraid of another giant war being started.

4. It's more like his papers sell war.

AFAIK he hardly makes any profit from his newspapers but they have a big media influence.

2. I feel like we're in a neocon horror movie.

The image itself is so stark, surreal and cinematic with echoes of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib and other nightmares.

7. your post reminds me of "the Power of Nightmares"

a documentary that looks at neoconservatism and Islamism as related phenomena.

3. I just saw that picture too.

Fuck ISIS.

No interest in another war, but still fuck ISIS.

5. I was on Twitter #Ferguson yesterday afternoon

and ISIS had posted the picture there. Not sure if it was taken down or not. I thought it was some sort of weird out of place joke because the news had not broken yet.

6. They just want maximum exposure

so they use trending hashtags.

8. "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."

and so it goes.................

We will never learn.

9. "I'm afraid of another giant war being started."

Started? Seriously? It's been going on for a long time. Many are oblivious to that or unwilling to accept it, but it doesn't change reality.
