Related article: Americans allowed the mobile video of the hanging:

    Evidence from a senior Iraqi court official provides compelling evidence that Americans took all mobiles except two used openly by "high-ranking government officials". This confirms that the mobile phone video was not recorded secretly, but was done openly and with government approval, and that the Americans controlled who was allowed in with any mobile phone. This reinforces the belief that both the making, and the leaking of the video, was deliberate black propaganda to further inflame the civil war.

I hate to be the one to say it, but... natural selection. If you saw the hanging, you know what effect it has. Namely... death. If you attempt to copy it, you're likely to get the same result. I understand that these are kids and as such probably don't have the firmest grip on reality, and of course there's the argument that these kids are desensitized to violence, and anything on TV is fake, etc etc etc. It's not that difficult to understand, even for a child. If you hang yourself.... you will probably die.

    But the best way to learn is by your mistakes. Unfortunately, these kids won't get another chance.
