Great article at New English Review:

U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman, chair of Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, is trying to take down hundreds of terrorist videos on YouTube operated by Google many showing violent actions against US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The videos give instructions in making weapons to conduct such attacks, while others spew out incitement to hate against us. On May 19th, Lieberman sent a letter to Dr. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google calling on Google to take down the terrorist content produced by al Qaeda and its wannabes. We also would include by extension videos currently posted by Al Manar, the Hezbollah TV outlet, on YouTube.

As noted in the Senator’s letter:

Central to this media campaign is the branding of content with an icon or logo to guarantee authenticity that the content was produced by al-Qaeda or their directly controlled franchises like al-Qaeda in Iraq (a.k.a Islamic State in Iraq), Ansar al-Islam (a.k.a Ansar al-Sunnah) or al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb. All of these groups have been designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) by the Department of State.”

Senator Lieberman appealed to ‘the better nature’ of Google by urging it to follow its own guidelines and noted:

YouTube posts “community guidelines” for users to follow, but it does not appear that the company is enforcing these guidelines to the extent they would apply to this content. For example, the community guidelines state that “[g]raphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don’t post it.” Many of the videos produced by one of the production arms of al-Qaeda show attacks on U.S. forces in which American soldiers are injured and, in some cases, killed.

Lieberman ended the letter to Google by entreating it to do the right thing: take the terrorist content down.

I ask you, therefore, to immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations from YouTube. This should be a straightforward task since so many of the Islamist terrorist organizations brand their material with logos or icons identifying their provenance. In addition, please explain what changes Google plans to make to the YouTube community guidelines to address violent extremist material and how Google plans to enforce those guidelines to prevent the content from reappearing.

Google’s reply from Dr. Schmidt was to take down dozens of the more offending al Qaeda videos, but leave up many others. It was a sop to alleged First Amendment ‘free speech’ doctrine by appealing to the best judgment of YouTube viewers to determine what was ‘offensive’.

The terrorist videos in the original article have been deleted but there are many jihadist propaganda videos available on Youtube. Just do a search for "Jihad Iraq" or do a search for "الجهاد العراق" which means jihad Iraq in arabic. Another interesting searches that turn up jihadist videos on Youtube are the following: Just click on one to run the search on Youtube.

1. "شهيد" which means martyr.

2. "حزب الله" which is Hezbollah in arabic. or even just search just "Hezbollah" in English brings up lots of results.

Freedom of speech or aiding terrorist.... You decide.
