#1 "...to be buried before sundown on the day of death."

Hmmmm, if the guy dies at 5pm that could mean quite a rush?

#3 The autopsies triggered a controversy, as Muslim tradition calls for bodies not to be embalmed or in any way retouched and for them to be buried before sundown on the day of death.

Tsk tsk, what a shame.

We now return you to programming already in progress.

#4 Explain to me, someone, just why we gave 'em back. They should have been cremated and scattered anonymously, not given to the Tikritis to drool and wail over.

#7 I'm a head-on-a-pike-and-keep-'em-there-till-the-flesh rots-off kinda guy myself. Shame we can't seem to engage in the kind of barbarity that can show the Islamists, we're assholes too, but only they will die.

#8 Couple of months ago I got an e-mailed article from my cousin(tried to post it on Rantburg,couldn't get it to work).
It seems Black Jack Pershing(Co.general U.S.Expeditionary Forces posted to France WW1)and his troops were under constant attack from Moro,Muslem(Phillipines)insurgents.Pershing tied 6 captured insurgents to stakes,dug a pit in front of them.Then slaughtered a couple of pigs,letting the blood pool in the pit.Members of the firing squad dipped thier bullets in the pig blood and executed the Muslem insurgents.Thier bodies were thrown in the pit,the pigs thrown on top and buried.Almost all insurgent activity ended for 30 years.

Do you think 'ole'Black Jack may have known something we do not?
