al-Jazeera Finds A Conscience

Apparently for once al-Jazeera is claiming a video taped murder was too gruesome for it's sensitive savage viewers. You don't suppose it's because the Italian victim insulted and defied his murderers on the tape, do you? That might not play well in the emasculated Arab world.

My condolences to his family and the highest respect to this man who spat into the face of death.

A big salute to Fabrizio Quattrocchi. His last act of defiance showed more character than Al-Jazeera and all their pet murderers combined. Scumbags.
As the gunman's pistol was pointing at him, the hostage "tried to take off his hood and shouted: 'now I'll show you how an Italian dies.'"

Wow. That sent a shiver up my spine. The men and women of all nationalities who are serving in Iraq deserve nothing less than our utmost respect and support. May this man be remembered as someone who died a true hero's death. He provides a very noted contrast to the cowardly deaths of so many suicide bombers. Condolences to his family.

Al-Jazeera is part of the terrorist syndicate, as far as I'm concerned. If they had any sense of decency, they would work with us to track down the origin of the tapes. Instead, they just revel in the Hell of it all.

And people say our media is bad...

In one of the pics of the 4 Italians taken prior to the execution, there was a auto carbine with a full mag leaning against the wall right next to one of the hostages. Wonder if he had any thoughts about grabbing it?
Anyway, hats off to the guy for showing the ragheads (and the world) what a real man is all about.
Don't terrorist eat quiche anyway?

CNN doesn't foist an "America is evil" mantra across the Arab world. And Bin Laden doesn't send tapes to CNN. Why? Because in their infinite wisdom, CNN might just try to do something about tracking him down, rather than using it to advance an anti-American agenda.

Can we have one example from CNN's website where they define Islam as evil or even suggest that Islam is evil? Just a single example of a CNN journalist doing a story on the evilness of Islam will do. *waits*
