Women were raped, bodies were mutilated in Autonomous Region of MUSLIM Mindanao. Religion of peace? The governor of Maguindanao, his son, and local police are all implicated. They are allies of the current corrupt president of the Philippines. It will be interesting to see if anything is done. This may be the worst massacre of journalists ever.

I eagerly await the spin that the reporters at the NYT put on this to show it as a good thing.

Heads cut off. Women raped before being murdered. I was going to ask if this was a Muslim region, but you answered my question.

And I agree about the corrupt president of the Phillipines, who has done a great deal to prevent anyone from dealing with any but a designated few of these Muslim terrorists.

Interesting to see if the journalists of the world will feel impelled to show solidarity for their murdered colleagues. They didn’t when clinton bombed the Belgrade TV station. Political correctness topped professional concern.

I remain confused. Is this ROP vs. seculars? Commies? Fascists?

ROP is a good bet. From Wiki: “Maguindanao is a province of the Philippines located in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).” You would never know it from the Article except for the clue offered in the multiple beheading.

Just damn...things are getting hairy in the Philippines. Could be another military coup coming up if the government bungles its response here.
