Carpet-Bomb Mecca. NOW.

Then execute 10 prisoners for every 1 hostage killed and wrap their corpses in freshly killed pig skins.

My brother-in-law left for Iraq yesterday. He's a civilian contractor and plans on being there for 14 months.

I pray for his safe return.

Meanwhile, I hope all terrorist vermin are exterminated.

Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin was declared missing
after an April 9 convoy attack near Baghdad. One
week later, his image was flashed around the world
in a videotape showing an American soldier
surrounded by five men holding automatic rifles.

My son was just asking me two days ago if I had heard anything about Matt Maupin, he's says we get news better and quicker than they do in Iraq. My son Steve knows him as a fellow member of the 724th..

I just pinged proudarmymom with this sad news. Her son also in the 724th returned home wounded and is being treated for possible nerve damage from taking an AK 47 round in his right shoulder. Prayers for him as well.

ABC News employees told 9News there is a videotape of Maupin being shot in the back of the head...


Tri-state Waits For Word On Soldier's Status

Reported by: 9News
Web produced by: Liz Foreman
Photographed by: 9News
Last updated: 6/28/04 11:58:16 AM

The Tri-state is on edge about the status of a captured local soldier, after news came early Monday morning that he may be dead.

9News heard nothing about the status of Pfc. Matt Maupin, 20, since this videotape a released a week after maupin was taken hostage.

Then, just after 5 a.m. Monday, 9News received a phone call from ABC News saying Maupin had been executed. At this hour, the military-family spokesperson said he has no official confirmation on Maupin's status.

ABC News employees told 9News there is a videotape of Maupin being shot in the back of the head, but 9News has not seen that videotape.

Maupin was taken hostage in Iraq 80 days ago.

Two Army officers are posted at the home of Keith and Carolyn Maupin Monday, shielding the family from the media and answering all phone calls. Two Union Township police officers are outside the home, keeping unwanted visitors away.

The Maupin's driveway on Schoolhouse Road remains full of cars presumably owned by friends and family members who have stopped by to lend support.

Monday's word of Maupin's status coincides with the US handover of sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government, which took place two days earlier than expected.

Maupin, a member of the 724th Transportation Company and a Glen Este High School graduate, was captured April 9 after his convoy was attacked. A videotape of Maupin's capture was released in mid-April.

Prayers for Matt, his family, those who loved him, and those who were working so hard to find him in time.

I believe that the proper response from the administration would be to inform the terrorist/murders, that if any of our citizens are murdered/decapitated, we will shut down the oil production in the countries that we "think" the perps are from. If they have no oil fields, we will bomb their capitol.

Then we should follow through with it if necessary. Europe would scream of course, but we'd be able to make it with $4 a gallon gas in the United States. In the meantime the ragheads would be back to traveling by camel, with no income...

I guess this post will be another of those where we are accused of not giving the TERRORSCUM mooselimbs and the religion of peace islam enough courtesy or understanding or whatever. Frankly I don't care.

I'm 100% serious about this. What I think we should start doing is what the Russians did for so long. When those animals do something like this, not only do you find them, and kill them, using whatever means necessary. But, you find and kill their family. It sounds harsh, but, those animals only understand violence.

Al Jazeera is not an official source.

A hostage execution is not confirmed until the "they will be brought to justice" statement comes from the White House.
