The S. Korea government has confirmed the hostage has been killed. His body has been recovered.
I am sooo angry right now. That poor guy pleading for his life killed me! Those bastards! I don't blame you one bit for wanting revenge. It's time to act now!
I can still hear that poor man's crying pleas for his life.....these cowardly animals must be stopped....
South Korea needs a govt-sponsored hit squad to go after these jerkoffs. The govts should say for every innocent kidnapped victim your murdering pigs kill we eliminate 10 of yours after we cover them in swine lard. Start with Abu Ghraib and Gitmo residents. Adding more troops and wringing hands is not going to get through to these murdering bastards.
You know - why do "we" keep negotiating with the terrorists every time they take a hostage? I thought we had already figured out that the hostages are murdered soon after capture - and that any "negotiation" is one sided.
It was just this morning that most news sources were reporting that the terrorists has "conceded" to not kill the hostage yet/today. How empty when he was already dead....
Until we deal with these terrorists in a manner consistent with what THEY understand, we will continue to see such behavior from these animals - far beyond the "turnover of sovereignty".
How much worse off would we be if we had just flattened the majority of the country of Iraq instead of playing PC patty-cake with them? The international community (with the few exceptions of our current allies in the endeavor) hate us - and still proclaim we are just being imperialistic.
Iraqi Militants Behead Korean HostageCAIRO, Egypt - An Iraqi militant group has beheaded its South Korean hostage, Al-Jazeera television reported Tuesday. The South Korean foreign ministry issued a statement confirming the report.
Kim's body was found by the U.S. military between Baghdad and Fallujah, west of the capital, at 5:20 p.m. Iraq (news - web sites) time, said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil.
The South Korean embassy in Bagdad confirmed that the body was Kim by studying a picture of the remains it received by e-mail, Shin said.
"It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news," he said.
Al-Jazeera said it had received a videotape showing that Kim Sun-il had been executed.
Kim, 33, worked for a South Korean company supplying the U.S. military in Iraq and was abducted last week, according to the South Korean government.
Kim was shown in the videotape kneeling, blindfolded and wearing an orange jumpsuit similar to those issued to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The tape showed five hooded men standing behind Kim, one reading a statement and gesturing with his right hand. Another captor had a big knife slipped in his belt.
The video as broadcast did not show Kim being executed.
Al-Jazeera said the video claimed the execution was carried out by the al-Qaida-linked group Monotheism and Jihad.
News of the apparent beheading reached the White House in the midst of a briefing by spokesman Scott McClellan, who said he was not aware of the report.
"That would be horrible news," McClellan said. "There simply is no justification for those kinds of atrocities that the terrorists carry out. We've seen some of the barbaric nature of the terrorists recently when it comes to an American citizen that was killed in Saudi Arabia and it is a reminder of the true nature of the terrorist."
Al-Jazeera did not say when Kim was killed.
Kim's kidnappers had initially threatened to kill him at sundown Monday unless South Korea (news - web sites) canceled a troop deployment to Iraq. The Seoul government rejected the demand, standing firm with plans to dispatch 3,000 soldiers starting in August.
NKTS, a South Korean security firm doing business in Iraq, told the AP in Baghdad earlier Tuesday that Kim was still alive and that negotiations for his release continued, with the company president expected to arrive in Baghdad from Seoul by Wednesday.

I can't believe no one saw them dump the body. This country isn't that big.
Barbarians brought down Rome.
They have been in existence since the dawn of man.
They now use our technological advances and our moral sensitivities to their own advantage.
The Geneva Conventions do not apply here. We must demand an immediate end to that discussion. We must also learn to accept that we must kill some who may not have been involved in the terrorism to get those who are... in fact, we may have to kill a lot of innocents.
If we lose here, we face a return to a city-state or even lesser civilization.
The Middle Ages, and even the Dark Ages await us if we lose.
Barbarians are at our gates.
If we lose this war, we (including France) lose civilization.
.
Game over.
War is war.
I'm a Free French (an endangered species), I support the REAL war against the barbarians.
Have you sent this to GW? Then a note to the fat boy, Kennedy.
X + 1
It is way past time for ACTION. Impose MARTIAL LAW and take out Fallujah. This seems to be where all the terrorists have gathered. NOW and I mean COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT type of take down of fallujah. It is the ONLY thing that will stop them just like in WW2, it was ONLY fierce allied reponse that ended the third reich and the Imperial Japanese. WE MUST DESTROY THEM NOW. Our weakness will be our downfall.....
It IS time to act.
There is no more horrible act than an innocent person [or BABY while we are at it!!!] being murdered with malice in cold blood.
Just think what would go through your mind in the position of a soon to be murdered hostage. All of your life going through your memory..all of the wasted effort climaxing in a premature end...thoughts of God and why He has abandoned you...the same thoughts Jesus had on the cross..
Kill them all and let God sort 'em out. Contrary to the position of the "man behind the curtain" this IS a religious war that has been perpetrated against us and the world and no amount of PC apologizing will change that fact.
