#3 You won't hear a word about his being a muslim. His service over a decade ago is what made him want to drive around D.C. and shoot people. NOT the more recent conversion to radical islam, where the 'good books' and 'learned holy men' tell you to go wage jihad against civilians.

#4 Just when I think the Baghdad Broadcasting Company can't get any lower, they bring in the backhoe.

Disgusting.

#5 I think he is first a CRIMINAL, then an ISAMLISTS, then a distant third he is EX-Army. Not sure but I think I remember they booted this guy. Line up against the wall and let em fly.

#6 There must be some way we can hurt the BBC when they pull crap like this. They don't have any sponsors, so we can't boycott the sponsors. Britain is our staunchest ally in Iraq, so we can't whack Britain (lots of other good reasons why not, but that will do). Most people outside Britain aren't required to support this fecal matter, so it's hard to bring any pressure to bear. A letter-writing campaign doesn't do any good, because these idiots are too dense to connect the dots. Other than kidnapping and torturing the reporters themselves, I see no way to make these people understand their stupidity has reached the point where there's a increasingly-militant backlash.

#7 Look on the bright side. The BBC is treating Bush better than it treated Winston Churchill ("Who?")

#8 when the Brit leftists sneer that Bush is stupid as so is the American public that supports him, we can say back: at least we aren't taxed by the telly set to pay for BBC tripe....oh, wait, I forgot about CPBS....damn
