At first, he said, they would only target Shia, but over time the new al Qaeda directed attacks against Sunni, and then anyone who thought differently. The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11-years-old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the mans words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, What did he say? Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family. ...
The people were jubilant. None of the kidsand by the end of the day there were hundredsasked me for anything, other than to take their photos. These were not the kids-made-brats by well-meaning soldiers, but polite Iraqi kids in situ, and the cameras were like a roller coaster ride for them. The kids didnt care much for the video; they wanted still photos taken. While the kids were trying to get me to photograph them, it was as if the roller coaster was cranking and popping up the tracks, but when I finally turned the camera on themsnap! it was as if the rollercoaster had crested the apex and slipped into the thrill of gravity. Of course, once the ride ended, it only made some clamor for more. Iraqi kids that have not been spoiled by handouts are the funniest I have seen anywhere....

I can’t be sure this is just an Arab urban legend. After all, these people are told Jews make Matzoh out of the blood of Arab children, and many of them believe it.
That said, Al Quada is so barbaric I have no problem believing they love to think up new tortures.
No real surprise, except that it’s being reported. There’s worse, I’m sure.
Too bad they didn’t invite joe wilson for tea and yellow cake.
Just YESTERDAY, jaz, I had a conversation that burst out of nowhere. One of those, where the antennae stick up. I rushes back to me now, looking at and reading about these kids.
A woman, in a store, just started talking about how her mother died when she was young, and then, all their pictures burned in a fire.
The thrust of her point was that she is obsessed with photography now (and these were her words)
because it captures a moment and that moment can live forever.

I get bent at all the armchair quarterbacks, even on FReep questioning details of things going on over there. Yon has been one of the few consistently on the ground with our fighting men in the tough places.
Yeah these people lie worse than BillyJeff Klintoon, but the website referenced has photos of a lot of kids beheaded and crazy stuff happens over there every day, so it is definitely plausible.
Thanks for your service, sorry you didn’t get your chance at the show.
This is a must read. Ask yourself, if MSM reported the real news would retreat be in our vocabulary? We should be ashamed, but alas, we are not.
If you have the stomach for what should be REAL Front Page Photos, check out these pics. They are for the Tough ONLY. I am very serious about that. Read the post below for the author and photographer.

That line from The Godfather comes to mind, the one about something being "an infamia" -- Mediterranean and Middle Eastern societies have their infamias, things that even Al Q'aeda wouldn't touch. Child murder and cannibalism would seem -- from a distance -- far enough over the line, that not even our worst enemies would go there.
But we know Beslan was true. They would kill children, we know that.
The British SAS who were among the first into Afghanistan found the Afghani men were rushing home, putting on women's clothing and makeup, and coming out to offer the Brits their services. So some guys would offer their services, and another wouldn't offer a story?
Like I said in my post above, the story is over there and I'm over here, but still.......

The latest dispatch from the great Micheal Yon. It is a very good, detailed read. Also it has a link the his previous dispatch, âBless the Children and the Beastsâ? which is also a MUST read. Warning, if you have not seen/read that dispatch, those pictures are tough to see but necessary. Too bad The New York Times refuses to report about the Al Qaeda atrocities occurring every day in Iraq. They should be on the front page.

Meanwhile the UK prefers not to name the enemy. Thank you for posting this. The MSM is evil, not to report these stories.
>>>They are also capable of instituting a global holocaust that would make the Nazis look like cubs couts if they have their way.

No chance. AQ saws off the head of an old man. The US’s fault. blow up a market full of wimmin & chillen, our fault.
