BAGHDAD _U.S. authorities in Baghdad have received five severed fingers belonging to four Americans and an Austrian who were taken hostage more than a year ago in Iraq , U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The FBI is investigating the grisly development, and the families of the five kidnapped contractors have been notified, American officials said on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the case publicly.

I think we should be able to scare prisoners to the point where they pee in their pants and spill their guts, kinda like the army Sergeant that was COURT-MARTIALED for shooting a BARREL to scare an insurgent prisoner.

That's only after we have a major biological attack or nuke hit on the continental US or Hawaii.

And even then, we have to make sure first that it wasn't China.

Rock on!

The FBI has the best forensic labs and investigative tools in the world. They are probably looking for clues to determine such things as whether these are the fingers of the missing Americans, whether there is some way to determine if the fingers were severed from living or dead people and whether there is some way to determine where the package originated.

Indiana voters on Tuesday elected a Muslim to Congress,

It looks like the "sanctimonius tools" in the Demokrat party are intent on handing the reins of our government over to Barbecue Man-with-unmentionable-middle-name Obama and the Shiite Heads.
