The videos showing supposed "Iraq al-Aqaeda beheading victims" have met plenty of healthy intelligent scepticism on the internet. It is very easy to fool the news with terrorizing propaganda stunts. Just ask some jokers in California who faked an "al-Aqaeda beheading video" and fooled the international news media! The F.B.I. is pissed--such propaganda tricks are only for the Official covert-op proffesionals--they don't want rank amateurs showing how easy it is to fool the media!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x735724This is really deep and consequential, folks! Mark my words, there will be a real cultural revolution over this stuff in the next few years. It's been very easy to fool the media with terrifying propaganda stunts--BUT IN THE INTERNET AGE, THESE SCAMS CANNOT LAST!!! The whole "news" media is losing it's credibility because it has been so easily fooled by official lies and propaganda stunts. The political repercussions of the people becoming aware of this will be awesome indeeed.
