Newsweek article says we're losing the infowar

The way in which insurgents are fueling this war comes in many forms. Most recently a cell phone with video capabilities captured the hanging of Saddam Hussein. It has been globally disseminated and my eyes have seen these nightmarish images. The footage almost seems unreal to me though. Justice is a word that comes to mind, but the footage makes it into more of a spectacle. The clip I watched of it also had a website superimposed on the screen advertising for the camera phone that was used. All that I can say is that I can't believe what my eyes have seen, but it's real as flesh and bone.
If anyone has seen this video on the web, let me know what reactions you had.
There's this inner struggle for me, knowing that I have no control over these things. And there's a struggle for humanity in a far off place.

I saw the video. I couldn't watch the whole thing. fucked up stuff man. I agree that it doesn't really seem real. It's so odd how you can see his face and can only imagine what the hell is going through his mind.
