Cruel, extremely cruel...
On the other hand, I doubt that any capital punishment is fun to watch. I'd probably even personally rather choose decaptivation over the gas chamber, the electric chair, lethal injection, hanging etc.
And as horrible as that may sound: From their strategic point of view in this asymmetric conflict, I can even somewhat understand why they are doing this: It IS very effective. The video causes a huge propaganda effect, despite just a single person being killed. Why? Because it's a well known fact that the US (and probably most other western countries) is trying to present it's population the illusion of "clean" wars: People shall not see dead corpses etc., possibly not even coffins, for they know that even having a peek at the ugly side of war would significantly reduce the population's support for military actions.
The videos of the incident known as "Black Hawk Down" is a well-known example for this. Even in the movie adaptation they were removing certain parts that were considered too disturbing for the american public.
