Information likes to be free, and if anything (and I restate, this is a very small point to make) this proves that the Internet should not be tampered with at any costs.

It's just so sad that a majority of our society doesn't want to see these things, regardless of their access. It's considered unpleasant, so it's better to just ignore it because maybe if we ignore it then problems should go away. Find someone in favor of [unpopular current event] and show them footage like this, and they'll give you the stock "eww I don't want to see that" response - yeah, but you're in favor of it, so don't you? Images like that guy's head pouring blood while being dragged away should be mimeographed onto our Starbucks cups with a little caption "This is happening somewhere in the world".

Yeah, but the only likely response the US can do is akin to 2003.

Our best bet is that the Libyan Government figures out who these people are, arrest them, and try them accordingly. Anything else will make someone dissatisfied.

Someone's going to be dissatisfied no matter what the US response is - if you can't please everyone, all that's left is to do the right thing.
