I do understand the curiosity factor and I would probably have been the same but I have to say, having seen it I really wish I hadn't. It's stayed with me all day and not in a good way. It was a very powerful image. I've largely avoided watching the news since.

I recently saw a film called Infamous in which there is a very graphic hanging scene, that was bad enough but at least I knew it was just acting. This was not only real but was also a man we have all 'known' for years and years.

Now apparently some mobile phone footage has been discovered and the television is showing that too. It's clear the whole thing was a bigger farce than was originally thought.
