Hostage Beheaded: British Engineer Kenneth Bigley

He really had no business being in Iraq...as a reporter he was just trying to take advantage of the fact there was a story to tell. Its really no different than any of the contractors or other civilians that have been captured and murdered.

Its too bad that he was killed but there is no fate but what you make.

We all owe reporters who go there a great deal of gratitude. If it wasn't for them we probably wouldn't know the sh!thole that iraq has become and would only have the bs that the administration tries to shovel on everyone.

No there's a big difference. Journalists are doing a service for everyone undisputably, whether or not you think the war is wrong or right. We can't make informed decisions without reporters (or even with them).

Now ocontractors that go are supporting the US military. That's being partisan. That's playing one side of the coin.

The ones that get released are usually the ones that give concede something. The italians paid to have their hostages released. And those other ones got a pull-out.
 
Extremely sad . . . that long drawn out period of literally pleading for his life . . . I can't begin to describe the sadness and anger that I feel.

This war was brutally unneccessary. It has hurt our country, it has hurt the real war on terror, it it the smokescreen behind which John Ashcroft gets to secretly smelly your undies, it is the lying facade behind which Dick Cheney gets to enrich his buddies, and the benighted bastards who so eagerly promulgated this third trimester abortion should be summarily booted out of office and held to account before God and Country and the world for their lies.
 
It's starting to lose its shock value, which is a very bad thing. The Islamic monsters are desensitizing us to their barbarianism. They should show the beheadings on cable news so Americans can be reminded what kind of monsters we are up against.

Why can't they just blow people up into 100 pieces like civilized nations do.

Would you rather get blown to bits by a rocket or sit in a makeshift cell for 20 days, watch your two colleagues get beheaded, then have to sit there for two weeks waiting for them to do the same to you?

Yeah, way to sympathize with the sub-humans.
