Beheadings etc.

seemd to have either slowed way down or stopped. Wonder why?

Maybe because it didn't produce the expected out come (having the U.S. backoff/ out of Iraq)? Plus POTUS got re-elected?

Perhaps the activities were mainly organized or carried out in Fallujah, which is now crowded with coalition forces?

Had one just today!!!

As abhorrent they are I just watched two current movies with beheadings: Hidalgo, and Wind Talkers. I think of even children's tales (Western) where the wicked King or witch shouts "Off with his head!!" The Vietnamese (North and South) as well as Cambodes dabbled in the taking off of heads.

It's not as rare as we would like to think and not confined to the Islamics.

The first case I can personally remember was my TAC in Training Group, Sgt Grogan. He was beheaded in RVN and his head mounted on a pole in a village for display.

The terp that was beheaded worked on our FOB, not for me but close. Bastards pulled him out of his house and did it in front of his whole family.

Its really pretty commonplace over here, just when its done to a local national it dont make news in the US.
