Re: Faking your execution Iraq insurgent style... bad publicity that really is bad?
Mon, August 9, 2004 - 6:17 PMWhen I first began my career in public relations, the role of a public relations professional and how news was generated really blew my mind. I couldn't believe that nearly all news is given to a reporter from someone that wants you to know the information.
I think the stunt was immature, but certainly a reminder that is only occasionally created by the ace reporter out to get the "scoop."

Thu, August 12, 2004 - 2:00 PMPublic Mischief and Disorderly conduct is a pretty safe bet.
If the crown prosecutor (I believe you yanks call it a DA) feels like it- they could probaly make a case for attempted treason and Deception with intent to incite riot.
Remember- they can charge him with any nonsence they want- it all depends on the competency of the judge, and his attorney (there will undoubtably be a long list of lawyers who would take this on pro-bono for the publicity). -

Fri, August 13, 2004 - 10:26 AMall he's done is expose the fact that it's pretty easy to put propaganda on tv. makes you wonder about the legitimacy of all those other executions we've seen lately.
