DETAILS - IRAQI DEATH SQUAD KILLING OF A WOMAN JOURNALIST

Times Online ^ | May 7th, 2006 | Halah Jaber

The sickening perversions by Islamic Jihadists and Terrorists seem unreal to us in the USA - as do the loony acts of Iran's President. Nonetheless both are real and he is just as dangerous as these Iraqi death squad members. And wishes on the West just the same as what was done to Bahjat. PLEASE America, wake up! Smell the danger and change gear from philosophical debates to dealing with reality as it is, not as we refuse to perceive it. Simply because it is too horrifying to allow near us or our minds. Nor to our emotions that could not handle it.

Ping, ping, ping

This has already been debunked. The video was a low quality copy of the beheading of an Italian. Of course that is horrible as well but this video is not of the woman journalist.

[FARS]

Then I stand corrected in the identity of the person slaughtered but not in the comments about the event.

Still open to debate I think. See:

It's been one week since the London Times published the story of the murder of Atwar Bahjat. Within hours some serious questions were raised about the accuracy of the report, questions to which the Times has offered no response. The only additional information published thus far on their web site is a letter from a reader expressing outrage over the brutal murder. It would seem the Times is standing by their original story.

I've seen no conclusive evidence either way. It's possible the Times does have a video of the murder that no one else has seen, and that it is very similar to another killing in another video. It's also possible the Times was the victim of a cruel hoax, and that the reporter who knew Atwar Bahjat was duped by the power of suggestion into believing the man killed in a low-quality video was her.

All that, just to plant two sound bites?

"....so the recording of her execution embodies the depths of the country’s depravity after three years of war."

"But the manner of her death testifies to the breakdown of law, order and justice that she so bravely......"

What crap.

[Straight Vermonter]

Hmm. Interesting as I haven't seen either video (nor would I) I certainly can't say either way. Thanks for the link.

I do think it is unfortunate that western media seems obsessed with hyping these monsters and doing much of their propaganda for them.

This news item, coming from The London Times, just goes to show you how far Western Civilization has come. As ghastly as this account is of a public beheading, it is really rather tame compared to written accounts of a "Drawing and Quartering" in 16th Century England.

"The video was a low quality copy of the beheading of an Italian"

I believe it was a male Nepali.

[Navy Patriot]

You are right, more Americans need to wake up and objectively see the Islamic terrorist for what he is, and insist that the terrorist and supporters be neutralized expediently.

"...the Badr Brigade, with which she maintained good relations,
protected her family after her funeral came under attack..."

A McDermott, Penn, McKinney, Kerry, Carroll, Sheehan type!

I heard this ol' boy on the radio; said the difference between WW II and this War, is that WW II was a land grab, what these extremists and jihadists want to do is to kill us. What is the solution?? It looks like the most drastic measures.

[justshutupandtakeit]

This is what the Party of Treason and the Treason Media refuse to tell the truth about in their insane drive to thwart and demonize the President and the War. Then there are the loons HERE at FR trying to cut his legs off to "teach the GOP a lesson". Such actions only aid these demonic forces whose defeat is the number one priority of the United States. And these people are NOT the Base of the GOP no matter how many times they proclaim it.

Anything (no matter what pieties it proclaims) which inteferes with the combat of this unspeakable evil by weakening the President has NOTHING to do with Conservativism. It serves only those forces desperate to bring down the Good in this nation.

It's for sure that America's emasculated, feminized and homosexualized moral-relitivist uneducated -- which number includes pretty much our every post-1950s college and university graduate -- will continue to project its woosy-eunoch feminazism on our enemies, have not the slightest idea that we are engaged with pure evil in a battle for the survival of our nation and for the survival of the very Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization.

Of which The United States of America, a tiny handful of somewhat half-hearted allies and Israel and Australia are the sole remaining defenders.

I just read the article!

[freema]

Bravo!

[ChinaThreat]

Don't get your hopes up. About 60% of the people in this once great country live in a fake world full of good intentions and outright foolishnes. Our media has no problems showing a dog lunging at a detainee in Abu Grahib, but they won't show the brutal slaughter of men and women at the hands of these sub humans.

This country is full of pansies who aren't willing to fight the enemy. Thank God for the brave soldiers we do have! They are the only thing keeping the knives off your family's neck. Next time you see one....thank them.

[Sisku Hanne]

VERY WELL SAID.

[lonestar67]

You are 100 percent correct!

[justshutupandtakeit]

Maybe if it were Natalie Holloway's head the Treason Media would have covered it.
