I'm glad you wrote what you did, because I really thought I missed something in the article. I didn't want to be insensitive, but the CIA excuse is getting old. If it's not the CIA, it's Halliburton, or Dubya. The whole article was confusing to me. And I was sober. Now... I'm a little buzzed. What're ya gonna do? It's Saturday night.

Heh, heh. "Boy ass." Sounds like a "South Park" term.

#2  WTF kind of journalism do they teach in Scotland? What is this shit about the Wilds stupid ass kid running around alone in Baghdad when there are ex-Saddamites pissed at not being able to kill, steal, and rape with impunity any more, and bloodlust crazed jihadis just looking to kill some white ass infidel so he can be assured of choice virgin poontang and boy ass in that big brothel in the sky? The Wilds should be thankful that the last memory they have of their stupid ass kid is not a video of him slowly getting his head sawed off as he is screaming at the top of his lungs.

WTF is the CIA implication? The CIA is mentioned exactly 2 times.
1. In the title.
2. Mr and Mrs Wild - who feel they have been hindered, rather than helped, by the Foreign Office at every turn - have come to a startling conclusion; they believe their son’s murder was ordered by the CIA.

That's it. Not once again is the CIA mentioned. Though I should be sending condolences, I am just TOO FUCKING PISSED OFF at the conspiratorial stupidity of the Wilds and cowardly piss-yellow journalism in this Scotsman article. I expected more from this paper. If this is the utter crap Europeans is spoon fed each day, no wonder Europe doesn’t have a frigging clue about the world and the kind of animals who await them. Let the wolves in and sit back while they tear them into tiny little pieces.

The CIA has implanted a microchip in my brain and ismaking me write this. I have no sense of reality and self-control while the CIA is beaming messages into my head. And I am just as accurate in my interpretation as the Wilds. GRRR.

#1  This was from a time when Baath Party assassins were targeting individuals. Given the lack of recent incidents of this kind, I assume these operatives are either in custody or dead. From an Arab news article during that time period: Eye witness said the incident took place in the cafeteria. He explained that the "American entered alone and it was easy to identify him because he is tall, and while he was leaving, gun fire was opened at him and a man was seen fleeing with a pistol in his hand." Eye witnesses also said that the British journalist Richard Wild who was killed on Saturday in Baghdad was hit by a bullet in his neck while he was in front of Baghdad's university where a large group of students.
