| 2004-10-08 |
| A militant group led by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed British hostage Kenneth Bigley in Iraq, Abu Dhabi Television said on Friday, quoting "informed" sources in Iraq. The 62-year-old engineer was kidnapped in Baghdad on Sept. 16 by the Tawhid and Jihad Group which has also beheaded two American hostages who were seized along with the Briton. |

| #13 SAS. Full-on. Fuck 'em. I am totally aware that the point of terrorism is to extract a response. My viewpoint is that our response has always been too limited. Anyone been on holiday to Carthage recently? |

| #9 I guess they milked the UK population for all they could get - an anti-war march, the brother peeing on Blair's trousers, all the lefties energized. But I am surprised they did it on a big news day (Duefler report, Eilat/Taba massacre, 2nd Prez debate, etc.). Except in the UK this will be page 17 in the NYT. |

| #8 Bastards. It was a likely outcome, though... now, the jihad-wannabes will bravely play with themselves watching the video. Disgusting. Rest in peace, Mr. Bigley. |

| #7 If Mr. Bigley has been beheaded, then I was wrong and I'm sorry. Still there are unanswered questions - but the most important one is, unfortunately confirmed. Rest in Peace, Mr. Bigely. |

| #2 Howard, Time for a little cultural exchange please... Can you give me a working definition of "taking a slash"? Any chance I have been "slashing" for years and just didn't know it? |
