...and I fully credit all of you here at FT for getting it there. Our thread had over 15,000 views, was sent by many of you to Drudge and other news, was shared on Facebook, etc. etc etc. Because of our perseverence, it will now be seen by TENS OF MILLIONS of people.

We probably can't take all the credit () -- lots of props are due to the mom that had the courage to post the video (even though she later deleted it under what must have been intense pressure), presumably the dad who took the video, etc. But I do believe this would not have happened without us, so congrats for making a difference.

keep in mind that youtube hit counters are not real time. They have different rules that influence the reporting of hits. You might not see updated hits til tomorrow reflecting today's activity, and for politically sensitive videos, some updates are not made at all.
