CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video Saturday purporting to show the bodies of two American soldiers being dragged behind a truck, then set on fire in apparent retaliation for the rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman by U.S. troops from the same unit.
The Mujahedeen Shura Council -- an umbrella organization of insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq -- posted another video in June showing the soldiers' mutilated bodies, and claiming it killed them. It was not clear whether the video posted Saturday was a continuation of that footage, or why it was released.
It was impossible to identify the bodies, but the footage was believed to be of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, 25, who went missing after being attacked by insurgents on June 16 at a checkpoint south of Baghdad. Their remains were found three days later, and the U.S. military said they had been mutilated.
The video showed masked men dragging the corpses, first by hand, then behind a truck, beheading one of them and then setting them on fire. Below the graphic footage is a subtitle: "The two soldiers belong to the same brigade of the soldier who raped our sister in Mahmoudiya."
Not just the MSM with their tacit support of this barbarism. Our friends at the Democratic Underground and other liberal blogs say that this is just what our troops deserve. I won't link those vile sites, but those threads are definitely there.
Certainly won't be on tv. Not with Tom Cruise having a new baby and Bill Clinton "showing" Fox News that he can get uppity for the barking moonbat crowd.
Can't have violence on tv. Might inspire copycat acts. < /sarc >
I want Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Noam Chomsky, and the heads of the ACLU, Amnesty International, Red Cross, and Red Crescent to watch these videos.
They only understand one thing and its violence, so bring it down upon them !
Holy month ..To Hell with that!
BTTP
And panties on head is torture.
God I detest these monsters so much I can't even express it.
So how do we win the battle for internet air space with these monsters?
