al-Qaida tapes scary viewing

To the Editor 

CNN-TV is unleashing a series of “Terrorism Tapes” to show how inhuman al-Qaida has been since Sept. 11. The high point was the image of a dog being disposed of by some noxious gas, possibly cyanide and some member of the public called in to deplore the horror of it. People seem to forget that cyanide is available in all countries and that hundreds of prisoners were dispatched by it in American prisons. 

CNN is not alone in presenting terrorism on tap. There have been endless redundant broadcasts on all TV stations of mass murders of school children, crazed shooters on a tower killing unsuspecting people below, a homosexual boy let to die while bound to a fence, a black man being dragged to death behind a truck etc, etc. 

It seems that this latest effort of the media is designed to scare the viewers dungless, so that our regime won’t be inhibited from unleashing a new war. What better way to rally the citizens around the flag.
