Lieberman to YouTube: Remove al Qaeda videos

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Joseph Lieberman is urging Google Inc. to take down YouTube videos that he said al Qaeda and “other terrorist organizations” use to encourage violence and disseminate propaganda.

In a Monday letter to Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer of Google, Lieberman asked that YouTube “implement its own policy against this offensive material,” by removing the videos. Lieberman, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, also wants YouTube staffers to have a system that will prevent the video from reappearing.

The letter follows the committee’s staff report on terrorists’ Internet use. Read the report

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Inc.

“Many of the videos produced by one of the production arms of al Qaeda show attacks on U.S. forces in which American soldiers are injured and, in some cases, killed,” wrote Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut.
