#1 I think we need a stinky fish graphic - or a "hinky-meter", as my friend calls it.

This Ken Bigley story has stunk from the beginning. Me beginning to think he was never a hostage at all. We now know he was with the Italian women hostage takers. Any connections faimily, work, friends with them or the Japanese girls? What's ol' Ken's background anyway?

Hinky-meter's way off the chart on Ken's story.

#2 A couple of years back right after Rachel Corrie died there was a story about a couple of young women who were demonstrating against Israel or USA , a kind of peace demonstrator, It took place in Lebanon, of all places...

Anyways, the story accompanied a picture of these two woman one of which had a look of such utter stupidity, as if to say 'Hey Mom, I'm a good girl protesting against these bad guys... uhm no the Israelis and Americans."

I recall the photo because the expression this one young woman had on her fact was soo emblematic of the sickness of the left. It was a risible display of self importance and arrogance, accompanied by her self-satisfied smirk. Something like that should be used.

#4 I am not going to accuse a poor man who has been executed by jihadis as being in cahoots with two Italian whores who sold out their government's stance in the WoT to jihadi blackmailers. What does that mean, "he was with the Italian women hostage takers"? Nothing more than that they were in the same room or something? I don't see smirking or smugness in his face-I see a bile-choked man realizing what is going to happen to him.

#5 Jule:

You got me wrong. I was referring to a completely different story that took place two years ago involving a couple of American women in Lebanon and the silly smug smirk they wore of their faces. I wasn't referring to the two recent Italian bints at all.

#7 I was basing my comments on the fact that I thought it odd that he had not yet been killed - as I do not believe that the AQ/Zarqawi group would have released him. It's not their m.o. In their minds, beheadings show their strength and control.

There were speculations about him being held by Baathists with connections to the Italian women- and I was just commenting that I thought it all very odd....especially since he remained alive.

I wish I had been right. Perhaps Mr. Bigley would still be alive today if, instead of Zarqawi, it had been Baathists looking for money that held him. And clearly, I was wrong, dead wrong, that Mr. Bigley had any connection to the Italian women or the Japanese women. And I'm glad. Because, in order for that to have been true, it would had to have meant that he set up his other two co-workers who were already viciously murdered...and...I just couldn't believe that could be true.

May he rest in peace. My sympathies to his family.
