In Fallujah, on March 31, four American private security personnel were ambushed and killed in their minivan. Their bodes were then burned and dismembered by an Iraqi mob. They were all former servicemen, many from the elite ranks of the USA military.

As sad as those pictures are the reality is that those are the risks when one signs up to do mercenary work in country that is being occupied by a foreign power.

shooting them would be one thing, but burning thier bodies and then hanging them from a bridge is something thats better left to uncivilized animals.

The main reason why we need to do an all out assault on Fallujah.

These victims were not "mercenaries". Telling how some morons misuse our language to suit their sensibilities.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the "victims" hired by the CPA which is a foreign goverment. The definition of mercenary is extremly loose and it could be argued that most of the regular army are mercynaries.

Now that you've cleared up the semantics for us maybe we could back to the topic at hand. You know, how there were these human beings and they were barbequed by a savage mob.

corns uptight don't worry about him. While it's true One mans mercenary is another mans soldier in lots of cases... it does'nt excuse treating another human being like that, the mob mentality. And this from a supossedly religious peoples.:(

Yeah that is true. The question is what should be done to ensure that no else meets the same fate.

I would hardly classify the CPA as a "foreign government".

Military style operations aren't nice and tidy.

It is a series of screwups. Each bigger than the last.

All you can do is attempt to prevent it and hope Mr. Murphy is busy somewhere else.

I can't guess the whole situation behind this tragedy but it seems to me like they were a sitting duck. If you consider the massive number of contractors working in Iraq, convoys like this one are a dime a dozen. Most likely Mr. Murphy was just waiting around the corner for some poor group to show up and these guys got nailed.

Four security contractors being killed wouldn't have really raised an eyebrow if it were not for these horrific images.

Exactly. They were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. It could easily have been another convoy the next day or the day before and perhaps no one would have so much as written about it or they would still be around.

They worked for this company who did secuirty work for companies like Halliburton who could not relay completely on U.S. forces in Iraq to always be there.

Anyways..........Really in a deeper level it's not that they were burnt alive and dragged around that bothers most people since so many others who died in convoy attacks meet the same fate if not worse then these guys. It's the fact that these people who we were told would greet us with flowers and smiles are now shooting and killing ( just like in Somalia ) those who invaded their country based on so-called good intentions.

Of course we all know that the road to hell is always paved with good intentions. The death of four BackWater mercenaries ( contractors for those who want to be PC ) is not the reason for the outrage it's the amount and level of hate and loathing that these people have displayed towards the U.S. in these four bodies of these poor guys that bothers people who thought that we would be loved in Iraqi.

To me, it's the the way they mutilate and disrespect the dead bodies that get me fired up. Okay you killed them, they're dead, leave them be. It's subhuman to act the way these animals did, anybody with common sense can see that.

I think that is obvious. Those actions were widely condemned by Iraqi religious leaders and political leaders.

It's not like we haven't had similar things in this country. Didn't a black man get dragged behind a truck a few years ago in Texas?

To me and you it may be obvious, but I was responding to the guy before who said that what really bothers people is that the Iraqi's are not throwing flowers, etc.

Yes, but you didn't have a cheering mob there, Please, that's bad comparison. It was one or two nutcases who did it.

Actually three nutcases, but I still agree. Anyway, one of the participants in that particular dragging death currently sits on death row right now as well.
