Exactly what I was going to say. If in fact this was a hoax that would be expected to generate a huge interest why would it be done in such a half ass manner? If there is one thing I know it's that there are agencies that specialize in this kind of stuff and they aren't going to do such an amateur job.
What did you expect, THX opening with scrolling title? It has to be believable right? (Since "tahrorishs" videos are never technically enhanced anyway.)

I suggest you read the thread or at least my entire post...

I can't believe how gullible many people there are. If this video was edited I'm sure they were splicing two cameras video. Time stamps mean nothing. It's about as good as the date stamp, I can put any date I want on that the day I record. Also I can not believe there are so many paranoid people here let alone this country. IF the Government were to doctor or fake an execution don't you think that the experts who would be working on it would think of everything? Oh wait, the experts would think that we would think it's too perfect for a terrorist to make so they would deliberately make mistakes. I'm getting the feeling that some even think this war is a big movie made up by the Bush Administration. The problem today is there are so many people who hate Bush they would do or say anything to discredit the administration. If you ask me there is a better chance there is NO life in the universe other than earth than this being fake.

I don't think we should be in Iraq...does that make me a "pussy communists"?






PS...MAME, you are an idiot

Just a tree hugging hippy! hehe. Why don't you think we should be there? I'd like to hear some solid reasons. It is unfortunate that our brothers and sisters need to do this but I really do feel it is necessary. Terrorism needs to be addressed.

Are you showing this to kids? Also I said they said to the kids "THis is a reason not to be in Iraq"
As far if you are a pussy Communist I'd think you'd have to answer that one yourself. 😉

I don't understand how you think that whoever edited the video didn't know what they were doing.

The time jumps could be there for many reasons. The time may not even be the time this stuff took place, it could be timecode.

Also, they could've been using two different cameras and cut them together and the cameras are set at different times. The fact that the times jump means NOTHING.
What kind of moron edits 7 seconds of video out but leaves the audio the same length as the original video, etc? Whoever did the editing was either using poor/old software/hardware or simply didn't have a clue about video editing.

Come on, it's obvious it was doctored. The audio doesen't sync with the video. It doesen't really happen like the video purports it. They don't really just shove him over and start cutting his head off.

I'm not saying they didn't kill him. I never said that. I also never said that the video was faked. I just said that it is obviously edited, and thus it raises questions, as it should. Did you even read my whole post?

What about how the guy in the black mask is the one with the knife doing the cutting, yet at the end of the video it's the guy in the white mask holding the knife and his head?

It doesen't flow.

None of those points proves that the video is fake. There are logical explanations for all of those that can't be proven or disproven.
I agree.

I never said the video is fake, I said it raises some serious questions.
