13. Johnson's body has been found

Paul Johnson Jr., a Lockheed Martin Corp. engineer abducted in Saudi Arabia, has been beheaded, images posted on the Internet showed. The beheading was the second of an American in the Middle East in as many months.
The Associated Press, citing unidentified Saudi security officials, said Johnson's body has been found in a section of the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Johnson, based in Orlando, was working in Saudi Arabia on Apache AH-64 helicopters for Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed. The Apache is the U.S. Army's top attack helicopter, and a message carried on an Islamist Web site alluded to the craft's use in Iraq.

''Let him (Johnson) taste something of what Muslims have long tasted from Apache helicopter fire and missiles,'' the statement said, according to AP.

5. process of notifying Johnson's family in order to identify the head.

Good God people. Don't force the family to identify the head. Do DNA or something. No family member or friend needs this visual inside the brain.

6. Invitation to a Beheading Redux

July 7, 2004
We shudder. The hairs on the backs of our necks rise as we confront the ghastly fate of Daniel Pearl, Kim Sun-il, Paul Johnson, Nicolas Berg, and other victims to come.

Decapitation harks back to barbarous times, as when Herodias severed the head of St. John the Baptist or Henry the V111th dispensed with his unfortunate wives.

Here is the cranium, the seat of human intelligence. Here is the astounding culmination of billions of years of evolution and it ignominiously sits on a platter for all to see. Here are the optic nerves, the delicate interface between external data and a myriad of synapses and neurons. Here is the noble forehead. Here is the mouth, the portal for language, song and love. All reduced to a bloodied hunk of meat.


In 2002, when the Wall Street Journal writer Daniel Pearl was beheaded we gasped in anguish and horror, not only at his and his family's suffering, but at a new 21st century manifestation of human depravity. Beheading as political statement. Beheading as threat and revenge. Beheading as public execution.

Enter the case of Nicolas Berg, the 26-year-old Jew decapitated in Iraq sometime in early May, 2004. Our hearts recoiled. There was an outpouring of public outrage. Bush denounced the savage act.

End of story. Not end of story.

U.S. Hostage Beheaded, Terror Group Says
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&e=1...

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - An al-Qaida group said Friday it killed American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr, posting an Internet message that showed three photographs of a severed head that appeared to be his.


The message, in the name of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, appeared as a 72-hour deadline set by the group ended.


"In answer to what we promised ... to kill the hostage Paul Marshall (Johnson) after the period is over ... the infidel got his fair treatment," the statement said.


"Let him taste something of what Muslims have long tasted from Apache helicopter fire and missiles," the statement said.

11. wives of the prisoners in the Abu Ghraib

I wonder if the wives of the prisoners in the Abu Ghraib photos felt as bad as Paul Johnson's wife must feel right now?

The wives of the dead prisoners must certainly feel just as bad as Mrs. Johnson.




Named and identified victims of the war on Iraq
As of the same date, the maximum number of all civilian deaths recorded by IBC stood at 10,093. The people so far named represent less than seven per cent of the civilians killed.

To those who knew and loved them, we add our sorrow and condolences.

14. Good morning, seemslikeadream! That pic of Spl. Sabrina H. and the corpse

just reminds me about the, now reputable, rumors of taped necrophila and SRA (including child sodomy) being held by the Donald Rumsfeld Pentagon.

What a world. What a "head" line. I'm going for a walk in the park now, to mellow out.

:hi:

17. Make sure you look up while you're there bob

Reminders of the our precious one world are there. Balances must be defended. Rest up and then get back here there's work to do!


One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us

It’s a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they’re a different world from me
I show my responsibility
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us

The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there’s no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us

Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It’s just a self deluding trick
One world is enough, for all of us
One world is enough, for all of us

I don’t want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
’cause we’re all in the same big boat
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
One world is enough for all of us
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday



It's always a good morning when our paths cross.

18. Our legacy in IRAQ-NAM

When the POW had a PLASTIC FLASHLIGHT RAMMED UP HIS RECTUM ???

When a GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BITES HIM IN THE TESTICLES ???

When the POW had a 220 Volt wire attached to the TIP OF HIS PENIS ???

When Lynndie England was encouraged to help the POWs obtain erections so they could perform ORAL SEX ACTS ON EACH OTHER and the PERKY PRINCESS OF ABU GHRAIB PRISON COULD SHOUT "HE'S GETTING HARD"???

When Lynndie England the PERKY PRINCESS OF ABU GHRAIB DRAGGED a naked POW around with a Dog Leash

When SPC Sabrina Harman, 372nd MP Company, stated in her sworn statement regarding the incident where a detainee was placed on a box with electric wires attached to his fingers, toes, and penis, ““that her job was to keep detainees awake.”” It is interesting to speculate that SASSY SABRINA UNDOUBTEDLY ACCOMPLISHED HER MISSION BY TURNING ON THE JUICE..

When POW’S were FORCED to wear Dirty Women’s Underwear on their Heads

When a POW was beaten to death, HIS BODY PACKED IN ICE and TAKEN OUT IN THE DESERT AND DUMPED ???

When a Civilian Interrogator ANALLY RAPED A 16 YEAR OLD BOY IN FRONT OF GI WITNESSES and is going to get a free pass because he was under NO ONES JURISDICTION ???

10. so another American is killed by a group of Saudis

yet * and Crashcart chose to invade Iraq, and are itching to go after Iran and Syria. Yeah, that's the Peace Presidet making us all safer now :nuke:
I'd rather stick my head in an F-15's engline while the pilot goes full throttle :eyes:

12. Saudi Arabia/ARAMCO/Exxon/Carlyle Group/Bush fund the terrorists

with seed money. The murder of Mr. Johnson could have been a black-op or a real Islamic fundamentalist terror cell or something else. I'm inclined to think black-op, first.

I don't think Saudi Arabia is a friend of Americans-quite the contrary.:grr:
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

[SOS]

16. But remember

that the "foreign fighters" come only from Syria and Iran.
The thousands who have crossed into Iraq from Saudi Arabia are desert mirages and will never be mentioned by the corporate propaganda machine.

19. BFEE is totally corrupt with Saudi Royals-that's part of LIHOP--law

enforcement was diverted and shut down when on the trail of the highjackers and the flight schools in AZ., in MN., in FL. and overseas. Military intelligence was dominated by the neo-conservative traitors too.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Enveloped in a sentiment,
A sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.
