Well Shit. Here's the CNN article on it.

More peace from the religion of peace, I see.

It's all part of the master plan. Beheading innocents will soon see the West pull out of the holy Middle-East and then al-Qaeda will have their paradise prepare to vanquish Westerners off the face of the Earth.

They're not fanatical idiots with chronic cowardice, no siree.

They demanded all westerners leave Saudi Arabia in 72 hours.

They're either fools or never had any intention to let the guy live anyway.

They are unquestionably both. If they hadn't been so damn savage they would have been a bad joke.

The poor guy was dead the moment he was kidnapped. I just wonder how many more people are going to be abducted and killed.

I thought they were demanding the release of prisoners ?

After checking the CNN article it appears they were after prisoner release AND removal of all "westerners".

This video's apparently even more graphic than the Berg one. I heard they shoved a knife through the eye of the guy's head after it was cut off.

I hope we find these people and kill them. Then I hope someone has the guts to be so immoral as to hunt down their friends and family and wipe them out. In fact I want their entire bloodline going back 4 generations wiped off the face of the earth.
Horrible, yes. Immoral, certainly. Justice? More than vengeance even.

But it would certainly be a better incentive for terrorists to stop what they are doing. Their own family members who want their children to live would turn against them. And we might remove a few genetic problems from the pool.

Hell, i would settle for just demolishing the city of Medina (without killing anyone) for this, followed by Mecca if there is any more terrorist action. Show them that their god does not support their actions.

Whoa there, man! I know you were running on high emotion for that!

Meh...Hard to say I disagree with you there, but it goes against the U.S.'s precarious position atop the moral high ground.

The logisitcs alone would be staggering.

for this, followed by Mecca if there is any more terrorist action. Show them that their god does not support their actions.

I see your reasoning behind this, but unfortunately a more likely outcome would be to inflame world opinion against us (Even more, but what do we care, right? Thanks, Shrubby), and to unite the muslims the world over. What we would have then would best be described as armageddon.

Well, not so much armageddon as we would have to cleanse the earth of all muslims, most notably with the utilization of many Minuteman III's, lest we, ourselves be obliterated. JIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD LULULULULUULULULULUULULUULULUULU!!!!!!!

Then again...they may simply regard this as peace loving christians would...as merely a test of their faith.

I don't mean for the US to do it or even any other government. Just some pro-western nuts or terrorist cells focused on terrorizing the terrorists. I was emotional and just saying something like "it would be nice if there existed such an immoral person who was motivated to.. etc."

Then we'd be just as free politically and legally as the Saudis and the Syrians and the Iranians. more so, as we are not actively preaching violence and hatred on quite as large of a scale.

The Drudge Report has the images already and yes, they did dagger the eye to add effect. I'm wondering what this will mean if it carries on for much longer. Saudi is big business for the West.

This proves you can't win a war by shooting marshmellows. The stupid moral high ground is useless. It accomplishes nothing.

Being nice, civil, and respectful is not helping. If you give them that, they will take it as a sign of pussification and trample all over you like a persian rug. This is why they make these ludicrous demands. They know you won't give in, and they know you won't leave, and they know you really can't do anything to them or you would stoop down to their level.

(CNN) -- Saudi security forces killed a top al Qaeda leader in the kingdom shortly after the decapitated body of American hostage Paul Johnson Jr. was left in a remote area of Riyadh, security sources said.

Frank Hipper · Post by **Frank Hipper** » 2004-06-18 11:38pm

ABC was saying this morning that many Saudi clerics denounced this kidnapping from day 1 as being very un-Islamic.
Speaking out against these bloodthirsty pig-fuckers is more than I would have expected even a few months ago. Wonder if Saudi actions against AQ in the past week or so hints at some change going on in the upper echelons of KSA's government?

You're being a religious bigot. Islam is a religion of peace, even though the Qur'an would have any reasonable person conclude otherwise.

WTF is it with radical muslims and decapitating people?

Ah damn. Guess we're still paying the piper for all those Iraqis being photographed naked and a bag on their head. That'll show us.

Russian oil is looking better and better.
