#2
· Jennifer Copestake's film on homosexual executions in Iraq will be shown on More4 News on August 7 at 8pm

That should drive up ratings. Too bad it's not a sweeps month.

#5 Here's a question. This article is specifically about Shia killing suspected homosexuals. Does this have anything to do with the queer Sunni jihadis? There were articles that many suicide bombers were closet homosexuals.

#6 Sounds like Iraq needs the equivalent of the "Lavender Panthers", mostly as a PR stunt. The propaganda puts out that they torture and murder those who torture and murder gays.

If that is too blunt, then expand the PR to a vigilante movement that murders honor killers and buries them with pig offal. No matter who is murdered, homos, girls, children, they hunt down the killers.

Since honor killers are cowardly in character, this would scare the hell out of them.

#7 This is indeed shameful, but bespeaks the evil that is the Shia militias supported by Iran, rather than the morality of invading Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein. In fact, this clarifies the dilemma of the "Progressives"; in order to protect their favoured population (who do deserve protection -- agree or disagree with their behaviour, nobody should be tortured and killed for it) they have to demand that their country not only stay in Iraq, but increase its control of the country, not decrease it, since clearly most Iraqi homosexuals and child prostitutes will not be able to flee to Britain for asylum.
