Sorry about your countryman.

So they released one--an example of their idea of "compassionate and merciful justice," no doubt. These sadists do it because they enjoy it.

These sub-human cowardly swine must be stopped. Of course John Kerry feels this is a police issue.

I am sorry to hear this about your countryman. I am sorry that this fairly recent terrorist technique is working with some countries and companies.

Why is it that the word TERRORIST does not appear in this AP story even ONCE?!!!! The vile media is calling these TERRORISTS militants because they don't want to hurt the terrorist's feelings?

The strategy worked. Turkish truck drivers said they will no longer drive into Iraq to bring supplies to the US and the coalition. One would think that the Turks would be made of sterner stuff. I guess they have gone soft like Spain and the Philippines. Without the UK and the US, I wonder what kind of world this would be.

The media practice "attribution" in unequal measure. Sometimes in full, and sometimes not at all. Get used to it.. We have.

The topic of terrorist warfare as opposed to our modern "sanitized" version of warfare came up in our evening Bible class yesterday. Basically , we were referring to the Babylonian army and how they went in and literally slaughtered and totally destroyed everyone and everything they didn't think would be useful for their own purposes (carried away captive).

In contrast, how we are expected to fight a "war" that is so selective that the terrorists are often missed because of fears of hurting innocent bystanders. How we are expected to abide by the Geneva Convention, yet the terrorists are held to no such standards....

How can we ever win a war with an opponent who won't "follow the rules"?

I guess for those who only understand sports analogies -

Imagine your football team is having a big game with the most hated team in the conference. At the game, the refs give you a penalty for every even minor infraction of the rules, while the opponent is allowed to break every rule - Dirty hits, late hits, extra players on the field, even weapons on the field -

Oh, and the rules just prior to the game were changed to force your team to play without helmets or pads, while the opponent is allowed all the pads they want (human shields?).

Also, the opponents players, even those not technically "in the game" are allowed to just mill around the field and suddenly are active participants at random.

Sorry but these ghouls are assassins same as Muhammad who had 3 enemies assassinated. Their assassinations are inspired by Islamic scripture. Muhammad also was a hostage taker and ransomed captives.

Excellent contribution, as usual. Stoke the fire with your satan inspired attitude. Do your small part to keep the fires of hatered burning.

Atta boy.

Oh, trust me, I am used to it -- merely pointing this out to others where it may have flown "under the radar."

Those cowards don't have the guts to show their faces as they execute a defenseless and innocent hostage. Disgusting.

It's all in the Koran and Hadith. It's all about their demands to the emulate the *exemplary* life of the prophet. To imitate Mohammed's examples (Sunna)

This here is not a discussion of the Koran or Hadith.

Each one of your silly utterances leads another ten to hate you - and hopefully not "you" as a group - and another ten who hate you to actively seek to murder you.

Keep up the good work. You, oh meek-minded one, are your own worst enemy. And you do rule the world.

They will eventually be caught and brought to justice. The media will want us to be merciful, treat them as freedom fighters and give them amnesty. The only justice these slime balls deserve in a 500 lb guided bomb. Hopefully it will be soon.
