You have seen worse and so has everyone else.

On the nightly news? In the classrooms? No, I have not seen worse.

Last month the same networks were showing videos of the decapitated and charred civilian contractors whose bodies were hanging from a bridge. I have seen old videos of Viet Nam where a little girl had her skin melting off. Ever seen any pics from the Holocaust? JFK's head blowing up after he was shot?

Honestly, I have not seen any of those things. Maybe I missed that night. However, as often as I watch the news, both the regular nightly broadcasts on ABC/NBC and the news channels, such as MSNBC, Fox News, or CNN, if it was so commonplace, I think I would have seen it by now.

If this was about broadcast standards then why is the video edited on the networks website? How come I can't even view the video online?

Because it's horrendous and disgusting. Because American news channels aren't going to put the beheading of someone on their news or their websites. Do you think the parents of Berg need to see their child's head cut off in the media? That's not the work of spin doctors, that's broadcasting standards and decency in general.
