Hey fellow DUers regarding beheading

[sui generis]

I know it's shocking but what is more shocking is watching us attack each other. We're feeling complex things about this but let's not take it out on each other.

1. Attackers are not DU'ers.

They are insurgent theocons here to disrupt.

2. There are certainly some really strong feelings

Going around right now... I think people need an outlet, and when you're that charged up, whoever's at hand makes an easy one, unfortunately. I hope that this can stay fairly civil...

3. who, what, where, why now?

who's attacking who?

4. I agree BUT

DU is the place to direct your feelings. I'm sure some people think Bush flew over to SA and put on a mask to kill this poor man. Some believe he was a random victim and his death is unrelated to politics (I fall in here). However we feel, use DU to express those feelings, but I don;t think we should attack each other for the feelings we have.

5. Don't believe everything you hear...or half of what you see....

....here's why I say this...

US firm spread hostage video - Silicon Valley Land Surveying Incorporated


Berlin - Video images of a US engineer taken hostage in Saudi Arabia, possibly by the al-Qaeda network, could have been put on the internet via a US firm based in California, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Thursday.

The video was released on Tuesday and shows relatively high-quality film of hostage Paul Johnson, who kidnappers from a group called "al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" have threatened to kill by Friday.

The origin of the video was traced to Silicon Valley Land Surveying Incorporated, a California land surveying and mapping company, said Spiegel online, the internet service for the respected German weekly.
