My heart goes out to the Johnson Family, but I can't feel that sad about this particular case when thousands of other people have died due to this whole situation. Also, the terrorists told us they were going to do this, so I can't be surprised either.

Terrorists are like trolls. Trolls who kill people. The best thing to do is for the vast majority of us to ignore them, and then wait for them to be punished.

Although this does bring up a point which is more depressing. The Iraq war has not, in any meaningful sense, discouraged terrorism.

Oh, jeez, Was that the guy who was taken prisoner? How awful...

Here's the BBC's take on it.

Bloody hell. That's all that really can be said. I feel for this guy's family, I really do.

It just shocks me how horrible some people can be.

It's a pity how violent people can be. And over what?

Freaking monsters.

Bastards. Let them try to come after me with a saw. I'd saw them.

The heartless bastards. The heartless ****ing bastards.

Devils.

Update, this is from CNN.

Just heard on MSNBC, that he and two other poeple were killed while disposing of Paul Johnson's body.

Link47 · 06-18-2004, 06:04 PM

CNN changed it:
> DEVELOPING STORY Al Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia killed while disposing of American hostage's body, Al-Arabiyah reports. CNN working to confirm.

Are you dumping me into the same miserable category as these monsters simply because I, too, happen to believe in divine power? That is just asinine. We're all angry about this, but I can assure you that I take neither responsibility for nor pride in what these categorymates of mine have done, so there's no reason to take your anger out on me. Remember that, because of my faith, these people would love to see me dead as well.

Sort of ironic. He kills the guy and gets killed trying to get rid of him.

^An eye for an eye, a life for a life. He had it coming.
