Merah vs. Al-Jazeera

Al-Jazeera has declined to air the video of Mohammed Merah's final victims.

Bravo to that.

Mohammed made a video in vain.
The station Al-Jazeera has agreed
To keep it under wraps, that any heeding
Bloody calls to murder mightn’t gain
A bloody inspiration from his tale.
(Recall that Merah had, a while back,
A nasty love for watching the attack
Of infidels online.) I can’t assail
The journalists’ decision; I applaud
The ethics of a man who, given choice
To grant a murderer a final voice
Containing not a message, but a nod
To all his vanity, will then refuse
To grant his ghost the martyrdom he’d choose.
