Video Claims to Show Pilot Being Dragged
Yahoo ^ | 04/04/06 | NADIA ABOU EL-MAGD

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A video posted on the Internet Wednesday in the name of an extremist group claimed to show Iraqi insurgents dragging the burning body of a U.S. pilot on the ground after the crash of an Apache helicopter.

Parts of the video were blurry, and the face of the man being dragged was not shown. His clothes were so tattered it was impossible to tell if he was wearing an American military uniform, but he appeared to be wearing military fatigues.

You'd think the media would be more responsible than to relay the press releases of terrorists.

They can "claim" victory, but they have no ground on which to claim anything.

If this is a captured American, then they have committed a war crime. Why isn't THAT the focus of the media report?

Unfortunately, no I really don't.

It is true. The video is posted over at bareknucklepolitics.

It's not for the faint at heart. It made me angry, to put it midly.

Michael Savage has been playing hard audio from the WoT all along.

The truth is out there if we'd just tune in to it.

These people are barbarians! I won't/can't look at the video. I watched another one a year or so ago, and I was sorry that I did.

I doubt we'll hear much about this from the media. May his poor soul rest in peace. :(

And for months and months on end, non-stop, all we heard about were panties on heads and how it was torture.

We won't hear from the media condemning this.

Just as long as they didn't put women's underwear on his head.

These "people" deserve the full wrath of the US military as well as the wrath of the American people. They make me sick!

I think because the media considers terrorists to be civilians, deserving of jury trials, etc. 'Course the media also hopes for an American defeat in Iraq, thinking that such a thing will return Democrats to power and a return to the road towards their beloved socialism.

No. The MSM WANTS this to be true in the worst possible way. They'll report it as such whether true or not.

I'm trying to access the video from work but it tells me it can't be located on the server. Do you know where else it might be located?

Where is the ACLU fighting for this military man's justice? Why isn't anyone saying a damn word about the torture that he endured? Why isn't anyone standing up for our men and women and our country anymore? I'm ill. Just ill.

I want a revolution. I'm not kidding. I want Americans to say enough is enough and I want us to take our country back from the swine that is in charge right now.

I watched the video. I turned the sound off because I have no need to hear their singing and propaganda. The helicopter is in a thousand pieces and some are burning. They pull out a body that is only partly burning near the feet. The man was dead. The images are very blurry. Allah's monsters are dragging a dead body from some wreckage. The only drag it. They are not desecrating it.

Do you remember the scum that our guys burned in Afghanistan? They called that desecration and the scum were already dead. What's the difference?

I've seen it. It appears legitimate.

Speechless.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking they should just nuke the whole sh*thole and be done with it. The vermin don't deserve mercy.

They have it at Orgish too. Google Orgish and you'll find it. It appears to be legit however so blurry you can't make out any detail.
