#5 Well, let's see how much they like my current run on the Daily Standard and find out. After all, the fact that I just happen to writing for them is just a coincidence, not a connection. My buddy Steve Hayes could tell you the difference ...

#6 During the Taliban tyranny, jihadists were obliged to make an blood oath (bayat) to fight to the death for bin Laden. Tens of thousands of Muslims are bound by that oath, and millions of Muslimutts are accomplices of these terrorists.

#7 Impalement

Impalement was a particulat favorate of Vlad the Impaler. This form of torture/execution involved impaling people on wooden spikes and leaving them to die a horrable and painful slow death. The impalement was often done up the rectum, or sometimes through the stomach or heart. Occastionally, for variety, Vlad would impale people upsidedown through the skull. Sometimes just the head was impaled, but this was more a form of decoration than torture because the owner of the head was usually long dead by the time he was put on display.

Disemboweling

This could ostensibly be considered a form of execution, in that not too many people can survive having their upper and lower transverse colons and their stomachs surgically removed (without anesthesia of corse) and not put back. Victims of this horrable torment were usually tied to a post or a tree. Their abdomen was then sliced open and their innards pulled out and either left hanging or cut out completely and thrown on the ground. Sometimes the victim was forced to watch his guts set on fire while he was still alive. Needless to say, because of the violent trauma to the body, it did not take long for this form of torture to turn into an execution. Vlad the Impaler was a big fan of disembowelment.

Mr. Vlad could we interest you in a Muslim named Abu Musab Zarqawi?

Hat Nailing

Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for the Dracula legand, came up with this one. Two Italian ambassadors once refused to take off their hats in his presence. Their punishment was having their hats nailed to their heads.

You jest Mr. Vlad, Wota sense of humor!
btw Mr. Vlad..I don't even own a hat! >:o

#9 Afaik the people who had their hats or more exactly turbans nailed to the head were not Italian embassadors but envoys of the Sultan

The glory of Rantburg is that we knew such men as these.
