#1 Without images of a kidnapped foreigner, such videos are ignored, al-Rashed said.

Flash those captured infidels up on the screen and those advertising bucks just roll right in. Oh, I'll bet he "agonizes" over it.

#2 "There is only one condition for me to stop airing all these videotapes, which is that all TV stations in the region agree not to show them," al-Rashed said. "If they agree, I will also."

Instead of setting the standard, al-Rashed waits for someone else to initiate what is right. What an @sshole. Maybe if these bottom feeders were targets, they would change their tune, toot sweet!

#3 I have a novel solution.

Make an Iraqi law that says a news organization or paper is responsible for 10% or more of the ransom/compensation for every hostage they air footage of.

The airing of hostages would stop tomorrow.
