According to some of the guys that got released there is. No pictures though so you probably wont believe them.

No.  
I’m not a racist.

And I did mean ‘shits’, like in ‘feces’?

There is another [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=255994) for anyone who hasn’t seen it discussion Reeders lack of blood thing. Seems there are some reasonable explainations about the ‘lack of blood’ thing after all.

I guess its possible that he was dead before and they simply staged the whole thing (though I guess I don’t see the purpose, unless you think it was the US or some Iraqi’s that did it), but its pretty undenyable that the man is dead and he was decapitated. I encourage you though Reeder to go to the other thread and put forth your theories.

From the context of your post, it seemed like you were talking about more than small Al Quaeda related group when you used “barbaric sub-humans” and “shits” as descriptors. 😕
