Beheading video in big demand on Baghdad streets
BAGHDAD, Sept 5 (Reuters)


.. ''The CD is in big demand. We sell about 300 to 400 clips a week,'' said Abu Muhammad, a shop owner who said he didn't have the stomach to watch the decapitation by knife.

''We have all kinds of customers, both old and young.'' The video shows a terrified Mohammed Abdel Aal kneeling in front of masked militants with AK-47 assault rifles as he confesses to planting electronic devices in houses that guided bombs dropped from U.S. warplanes. ..

It now appears that hostage-takers are also spreading chilling warnings to bustling Baghdad street markets and shops, where the CD of Abdel Aal sells for the equivalent of 70 U.S. cents. ..

''He said he offered Iraqi girls to the Americans. We cannot accept this, especially from a fellow Arab,'' said Allaa Hamdan, 32. ..

6. I sure hope that tape will get a lot of air time.
I REALLY want to see it myself and to know the whole world will have a chance to see it.

We never hear of Democrats doing things like this.

Remember reading a year ago or so about some college student Democrats who carried signs into an auditorium, and some Young Republicans grabbed them and ripped them up and shoved them around?

What about Young Republicans getting rough with Joan Jett?

It goes on and on.
