Posted Sun 6/13 in Wash Post:

On Tuesday, gunmen killed Robert C. Jacobs, 62, of Murphysboro, Ill., an employee of defense contractor Vinnell Corp., after following him to his home in Riyadh. On Saturday, an Islamic Web site posted video footage purporting to show that killing. The video shows a man who appears to be a Westerner fall to the ground in front of a garage as two men holding guns run toward him, the Reuters news agency said.

"The murder of the Jewish American Robert Jacob, who worked for the Vinnell espionage firm," a statement announcing the video on the Web site says.

They shot him as he ran for his life, then shot him after he fell - total 9 times in the head.

I saw that video too. Unbelievable. I was telling the ladies at work about it. People have to realize what we are dealing with and it seems that pictures are the only way points get across to people nowadays. Abu Grabe case in point, and the libs media knows this. It's an uphill battle.

Thank you for remembering Robert Jacobs - the national media seems to have forgotten that this happened.
