The assassin in Saudi Arabia has been killed...

[kentuck]

Now reported on all the networks. So soon after the beheading, they say they have killed the leader. They are lying out of their ass, would be my guess. They need certain people to think they have taken care of the problem. Did they know where the guy was at before the beheading? They discovered him might quickly, it seems to me?? Lot of lies and propaganda filling the air today. What to believe? What to believe?

[bleedingheart]

1. yeah right and there is some nice swampland I would like to sell

the american public in the middle of the desert.

I agree with you...they discovered the assassin this quickly and they couldn't save poor Mr. Johnson??

Abdel Aziz al-Muqrin, the leader of al Qaeda's cell in Saudi Arabia, was killed, Saudi security sources told CNN.

He was killed while disposing of Johnson's body, the Arabic-language television network Al-Arabiya reported.

2. Believe that BFEE is behind this. nt

3. Well that was fast.

[proud patriot]

4. That's what I was thinking

:think:

[Bluebear]

6. Hm. Why couldn't they find poor Paul Johnson?

Did they "just miss" rescuing this poor man?

[seabeyond]

5. i heard one reporter mutter

and only one reporter, then trail off........something like the saudi's were instructed adn told where to find the body, that they were in communication with the people that beheaded johnson

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. wow, that was a quick trial

they don't waste any time in messy things like arrests and judges and juries do they?

[Cat Atomic]

8. Hey- you can't make a habit of capturing these guys.

Then you'd have to question them. That'd make some powerful people very uncomfortable.

[merh]

16. which leads me to a question I have always had and maybe my fellow

DUers can answer it for me. The 19 terrorist that crashed the planes on 9/11, how is it that they have their photos and know their voices to be able to put their photos with their voices when they play the transcripts?

[troublemaker]

24. Perhaps because "they" have had many people detained for

a couple of years who knew the guys?

[merh]

26. but they had their photos just after it happened. I mean, I have always

been of the simple opinion that the only people that we know for certain were responsible for 9/11 are those that died in the crashes.

Most of those killed in the planes were more or less cremated, not a whole lot of remains to test and those little bit of dust and bone bits that may have remained before the collapse of the buildings were really rendered to nothing after the collapse.

How do they know terrorist A was flying and B was talking or vice a versa? I'm just curious.

9. How tragic. How sad his family must feel right now.

I've read several posts that have basically dismissed the death of That Guy as Bush Propaganda. Can some people here really not set aside their poltics and grieve for this man's family? Can anyone imagine what it must be like for these people to know that their husband and father was just murdered in cold blood?

Some days I really am ashamed of many of the people that post here. I don't want to name any names, but some of you are just sick. The same thing happened after Reagan died. There was an almost celebratory mood in some of the treads here that made me sick to my stomach. I would like to think that as liberals we can recognize the tragedy in ANY death, and not immediately resort to partisan rhetoric. I'll be the first to admit that I engage in a lot partisan rhetoric on this board, but there are times when everyone, on both sides of the political fence, should just shut the fuck up and allow a family to grieve the loss of a loved one.

Sorry if this sounds too "preachy", but some posts I've read since That Guy's murder have made me ashamed to affiliate myself with some people on this board. One thread in particular was taken down, thankfully, but I still needed to get this off my chest. Thanks.

12. You've been a joy to read all day.

Congratulations.

17. You're quite welcome.

It's been my pleasure.

[Wind Dancer]

18. My heart aches for this poor family.

I am sickened over his death, along with the deaths of every innocent person and their families.

[Cornus]

20. Not "preachy" at all...

...and you expressed exactly how I feel. Thank you.

[loudsue]

23. Dr. Weird I'm TOTALLY sick of YOU.

And take your little dog ToTo Stop Thief with you. You've posted this sermon at least 250 times today. What in the hell is your point??

Quit trashing DUers or go back where you came from!!!

[StopThief]

10. According to the hourly update on ABC radio. . . .

he and two others were caught in the act of trying to dispose of Paul Johnson's body.

[Spazito]

13. How coincidentally fortunate that they were at the "right" place at...

the "right" time, eh.

[merh]

11. I hope Nick Berg's father gets a chance to talk with the Johnson

family. They share the same grief and the same unanswered questions. I pray for them all.

[U4ikLefty]

14. I wonder if we're gonna get any

"let's not say anything bad about him because his family is really hurting right now", from the DU babysitters???

[Wind Dancer]

15. I am suspicious of everything!

Amazing how quickly the killer was found, yet Paul Johnson and OBL weren't discovered. Amazing.

[Bluebear]

19. Quiet! Let the family grieve in private!

Don't discuss anything!

22. and so it goes....

Wheels keep on turning and turning and turning
and nothings disturbing the way they go around.

25. Damn amazing, isn't it?

This story and the Putin story make Alice in Wonderland a work of non-fiction.

[Guaranteed]

27. Something seriously stinks about this.

I don't know what's really going on, but there are way too many holes in the story, and you can damned well bet that what we're hearing is not the reality of what happened.

28. sorta like lee harvey oswald and jack ruby....wink wink.......n/t
