Iraqi beheading video faked
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-08-07-video-behead_x.htm

<snip>

Benjamin Vanderford, 22, said he began distributing the video on the Internet months ago in hopes of drawing attention to his one-time campaign for city supervisor. When his political aspirations waned, he thought the video would serve as social commentary.

"It was part of a stunt, but no one noticed it up until now," Vanderford said. "I did this for a couple of reasons. One is to attract attention. But two is to just make a statement on these type of videos and how easily they can be faked."

Hmmmm... :eyes:

1. Well that seems a little warped in my view . . .
He actually felt that showing this would help him? You know, I check out the board everyday, and the things that are going on in this world, home and far away, never cease to amaze me.
