A message posted on an Islamist Web site said Monday the militant group of al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had killed one of two Americans it was holding hostage, but the report could not be immediately verified.

The message was signed by Abu Maysarah al-Iraqi, a pseudonym for a contributor who has in the past posted messages on the Internet for the Tawhid and Jihad group, which set a 48-hour deadline Saturday to kill the two Americans and a Briton.

1. Is this because the Iraqi women being held in abusive prisons were

not released?

2. Unfortunenately,this was to be expected

3. Did his leg grow back yet?

4. This killer is the guy Bush let go, wouldn't take out

before the war, because he was using his presense in Kurdish controlled Iraq as a reason to invade.

He also killed David Berg.

More Bush related deaths.

12. CNN International just let Walter Rodgers describe this...

in a long report that also included the militants' motives, other hostages held, etc. Oh, God, what horror, that poor man, I feel ill just listening. Rodgers reports with great passion, deadly seriousness. I just don't know what to say, or think.

16. Immeasurably sad...

.. I can't even begin to imagine how his family must feel right now.. I would never recover if it were my loved one.

There was a time, when the anger over the war was still so raw here, that many people had an attitude that the contractors asked for this by being there... I think everyone has realized that when America no longer offers breadwinner wages, health benefits, or retirement.. the prospect of employment for a few years that might support you in your retirement.. does not seem mercenary.

I'm deeply sad for the hostages in Iraq. If there is a God, then John Kerry will be elected, and we'll find our way out of this hell in Iraq.

13. I think killing al-Zarqawi or someone standing in for him

is the October surprise. All of these actions are being attributed to one person, who may or may not be alive at this point. "Al-Zarqawi" will be captured or killed in late October, mark my words.

14. comments of a freeper who saw the video

"DO NOT WATCH THIS video if you get the chance. I have seen the others and this one was 10 times worse. I just had to go take a drink, get a breath of fresh air. For a minute I thought I might actually vomit.

I feel nauseuous after watching this. I strongly recommend you DONT watch this, it's that horrible. I pray the family does not watch this.

Just a warning - I saw the Berg video - I don't need or want to see this again...

15. thanks for the warning

I definitely won't be watching. This is horrible :(

[unfrigginreal]

17. Every one of those freeper assholes and anyone else that supported

the Iraq invasion should be required to watch every beheading video. I hope this freeper scum has nightmares for a week, but I suspect the images are already gone from what little conscience that he has.

20. The Vid Is Sickening

More horrible than the others. The gates of hell have indeed opened up over there.

21. I can't bring myself to watch it

I watched the Berg video and can still hear his screams :(
