Just Curious.........

Why is it that all these 'terrorists', 'insurgents', and 'evildoers' always cover their faces for videos? When you're fighting for something that you truly believe in, don't you want your identity to be known?? This may have been discussed here before, but I missed it. Just curious.....

1. cause George Bush doesn't want you to see his face

no, I guess they just don't want to be identified

3. because if they get caught they can't fight for their cause.

I overlooked part of you post

2. I'll hazard a guess on the masks, lacking an insurgent to ask...

1. They're spookier that way.
2. They can walk home after work without getting popped by the cops.

Much like the KKK, IMO.

4. Just a guess here

But, could it be because their Country is being controlled by a foreign power and they don't want their identities out? I assume if the US had their faces they could more easily put names to them thus know where they may hide, i.e. location of family members, etc.

I doubt their desire for anonymity has much to do with their belief in their cause.
