LiveLeak.com - Redefining the Media

by 2 others
Another new portal in beta. It's notable today in that it shows the live execution of Saddam which at least confirms nobody ushered him away at the point where the official broadcasts stopped - a bit of a killjoy for conspiracy theorists! I really don't recommend watching that clip (unless you are still a disbeliever) but the site itself seems to be offering up a few interesting items. No doubt many clips are at YouTube and elsewhere, but Liveleak is refreshingly uncluttered by trivia.
