There is no reason to hide legal behavior. If the behavior is illegal then the perpetrator will of course attempt to deny and hide his or her actions. It is the duty of the people to demand the exposure of these crimes. If the people knowingly let the crimes go unchallenged then they have participated in the destruction of their own country. They join the ranks of the of the saboteurs.

In a country in which I was taught to believe that free speech was one of our rights, I am aghast at the actions of MTV, which wouldn't even EXIST if not for this right. I seem to recall, in a misty haze, television commercials in which people kept repeating "I want my MTV". Hmmmm.........

News and Media companies have an integral duty to the unbiased truth. They have no business suppressing adds of this nature. If they do, then they are just as guilty of murder themselves.

why is it back in America, where we have freedom of sorry, then why should companies have some kind of right to reject a video about societal crimes in America. Bush and Cheney both lied and got Americar into a War in Iraq. houses of young American soldiers were killed or maimed in this family war. they both guilty of war crimes and should sleep on the death penalty would be a great

War crimes ON BOTH sides of the debate need to see the light of day. Big corpirations don't want a debate on war crime and corpirate war profiteering OR the lack of TAXES THEY PAY.

Viacom, you're Fascist.

I am unable to support a network/company who censors "the last war crime", as Viacom is more concerned about protecting dick cheney, a person who condoned torture, including CHILD RAPE. I will make this issue known to all my friends.

Cheney's sadism as inflicted on thousands of people must be made known through this film and finally through the courts.

As a former newsman, I find it difficult to understand how industries that are based on "Free Speech" can censure real free speech?
As a former Christian, I believe that the message of the Christ was to be truthfull all of the time. We can not hide the truth in a nation that promotes accurate and free speech.

In a free society, paid ads are accepted without censorship of legal content.

Thank you for considering reversing your position about posting an ad for the feature film THE LAST WAR CRIME.

It's not the job of media companies to censor public discourse.

Why is the US Media so afraid of the Tyrants who run this country and THEM? Investigative Reporting is non-existent and those who tell the TRUTH are killed or lose their jobs. Why? What has this country become? I wore the uniform for the USA proudly reporting to General Al Haig who was like a father to me and it doesn't mean jack S--T unless politicians need TROOPS and VETS to WIN VOTES. A DAMN SICK GAME!!! Kiss my ass! James, Sergeant, US Army, Nato Command

Responsible journalism is one thing. But editing news or ads for purposes of forwarding, or protecting, a political agenda is seriously unprofessional in a news provider.

It is apparent as a representative of the political and business status quo you have a need to block the freedom of speech when it comes to challenging the unacceptable methods used to alledgedly protect us from another terrorist attack. However, I don't accept that we are safer for the methods utilized to gain information. Our government was lead by incompetent people that had been informed of possible terrorist attacks using planes many,many months before an actual attack. Just as the government knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor members of the government (the President) needed a reason to go to war against Iraq. Now we go to war with contractors with no moral check on their employees and we put our military men and women in harm's way as they are subjected to torture in response to our authorization of torture methods.
You accept rap lyrics that promote violence against women yet, you are offended by a movie promo that depicts water boarding and humiliation as a means of getting information?
Help me understand your moral position.

I truly believe this movie(The Last War Crime) is probably one of the most important movies you will ever see. If there is a theatre near you that has enough courage to run it Please make every effort to see it. I am hopeing Viacom will " Manup" and remove their rejection of the add so that the people who really care about the truth will have a chance to see it. Annette Lane

As a once highly important element of youth culture that promoted MUSIC and thought-provoking action--as opposed to brain-dead programming of today---I urge you to air this video to help educate the public on a truly important issue of justice and human rights.

God forbid we should look at the actions of "our" rulers even as they rail against the abuses of "thier" rulers.
God save us from ourselves!
