[WikiEN-l] Publishing pornography/original research?

Can anyone help with this?  An editor has added to the article on
former British hostage in Iraq [[Kenneth Bigley]] links to the video
showing his murder.  I have deleted the link, but the other editor has
replaced it again, saying a consensus was reached over the [[Nick
Berg]] beheading that Wikipedia would provide a link to these videos.

Does Wikipedia have a policy about publishing links to what is
effectively a snuff movie?  Personally, I find this highly
objectionable and unencylopedic.

Would this video count as primary source material and therefore
"original research"?

The other reason I object is that one of the links is to a
particularly nasty website featuring bestiality among other things.

Any advice would be much appreciated, either here or on [[Talk:Kenneth Bigley]].
