Here we go again
Wizbang is reporting that the South Korean hostage has been beheaded by the Iraqi militant group. A video was released to Al-Jazeera, but it does not show the murder taking place.
This breaks my heart. Who cares if he wasn't American. I got chills when I saw the first video of him captured, and he was pleading in broken English not to be killed. Even if it was staged by his captors, you have to admit, he must have been scared.
So many civilians are in the Middle East right now trying to do their jobs, trying to make a difference, and it's ridiculous that they're being murdered like this. I know we can't protect everyone, but something needs to be done so there won't be another Berg, Johnson, or Sun-il. I'm sick and tired of these terrorists thinking that they're going to convince my country to retreat. They obviously don't know us that well.
update
There's also a possibility that there already might be more hostages. It could be more South Koreans, but I'm willing to guess that if true, these hostages are from the other countries helping in the reconstruction of Iraq.

The score is 3-0, three heads to none. Its time we fight violence with violence. Its going to be the only way to get this enemies attention.

wonder how much training from the CIA these terrorists got back in the 80's when RR was calling jihadis "freedom fighters".
