the video is definitely not fake. the murderers first read some bullshit in arabic. a few hours later, according to the time display on the video, they announce his "sentence" and proceed to behead him. there are several versions of this video available on the net. the one on ogrish.com is more clear and it's obvious the camera is showing the real beheading. there may be some difficulty seeing all the blood at first because the blanket they put him on is dark red/brown. but in the last few moments of the tape when they zoom in on the head and the body it's clear there's a pool of blood there. the quality of the original is indeed shit. some flaws are from the original recording plus additional quality was probably lost when the tape was transferred and edited to the internet.
one noteworthy discrepancy is the date the video was recorded. the murderers claim the beheading was done on may 11, which is not true because the headless body of nick berg was found by american troops last weekend.
