american beheaded in Iraq, video

TO do a slight hijack, in the quoted section I find these statements:

FWIW, the goop in cyalumes is neutral and nontoxic. i wouldnt suggest drinking it, but it is commonly used to make people glow green for halloween, and as pranks.

Also FWIW, the Navy put mrAru through EMT school, the military has a policy of liking to crosstrain possible combatants as EMTs to enhance the ability of personnel to provide medical treatment when the casualty rate would otherwise overwhelm the corpsman and he frequently would care for and suture wounds on the boat. He even ran with Virginia Beach squad 13/Davis Corners for a while. I am pretty certain that when it all comes to a trial, there will be evdence of that particular grunt having taken either the EMT course, or the equivalent ‘first aid’ course., and qualified to suture a simple wound.

Well, yes. If you go back to the “It’s the same chair !!! OMFG !!” link above, there’s a photo of a guy holding a gun to Pearl’s head. He’s quite clearly wearing a gold ring. So I don’t think there’s any substance to the “Islamic terrorists don’t wear gold rings” angle.

I guess the question is, where they actually Islamic terrorists? I would imagine them being more thorough, and remembering to take off a gold ring, but I’m hearing under Islam wearing gold rings is forbidden. That sounds a little ridiculous to me so I was wondering if people heard the same.

Another question.

Does anyone find it even remotely possible the CIA or someone would actually stage an execution in order to “change the music” while this prison uproar is going on?

We’ve done some pretty fucking shady stuff before, why not this?

*were they actually Islamic terrorists?

Just as I thought! Another plot by the bauxite interests to boost sales!

Sorry if I missed this, but where is Bergs body now? Are we 100 percent sure that he is the one on the tape and that he is dead?
An autopsy would clear up whether or not he was dead already or not.

Also, gobear Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and also for admitting when you are wrong.

They just flew it into Dover AFB. The Department of defense denied the request of the family to be there when it came in.

Nice guys eh?

I’m not sure how to bring this to you, guys, but have you heard that John F. Kennedy’s death might have been a conspiracy? :eek:

There is something fishy here, seriously. I don’t know what yet, but it’ll come out.

…I’d just like to point out this e-mail sent to papers that carry Doonesbury today:

5/23 is of special significance to the Illuminati, of course. Beyond that, "“Salem” is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “peace,” which is also rendered as “Salome,” bringing us back to a head on a platter in the Middle East.

(And don’t get me started on the Fernando POE incident. Robots!)
