Another Atrocity?

The Beeb is reporting that an 'Islamic militant' website has a video that allegedly shows the beheading of an American captive. I won't hold my breath waiting for the public outcry and worldwide condemnation of this heinous act.

The group, thought to be linked to al-Qaeda, said it was carrying out the execution in retaliation for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers.

Like that makes it ok.

Rita, try Northeast Intelligence Network at http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/. Fox News has an edited version, I think.

Screw the Arab Street.

The video is downloadable at www.ogrish.com (found via Obnoxious Fumes)

I've not seen the video as I'm not sure I can bring myself to do so. I read a description of it and it was enough to make me so _f******_ angry that I couldn't see straight. I've seen these perpetrators referred to as "terrorists," "extremists," "radicals," and "militants." Let's be honest with ourselves and call them what they are, murderous cowards. I hope these scum are tracked down and put down like the rabid animals that they are. May God have mercy on their pathetic souls, as the U.S. military most certainly will not.

It disgusts me, and saddens me. What makes me very angry is there are some Americans who are saying that Bush/his administration are the ones behind this. That they ordered Nick Berg's murder...conspiracy theories running amok on certain message boards for democrats.
