Thanks for telling it like it is, G.A. Phillips. At least how it is on your planet. Your points are very articulately stated as well. Listen to much right-wing talk radio, do you?

Look, the guys both deserved to be hanged. It is, however, unfortunate that one of their heads fell off in the process. That just isn't good form.

It is an exaction who cares if his head fell off, have the Libs got to you all, yes, lets be nice to people we hang, lets makes sure it looks p.c. Oh and the current situation in Iraq is because of our wonderful DNC an all of their traitor leaders in our government and media, nothing more nothing less, since before we even got there they gave aid and comfort to our enemy as they still do today, Cowards and traitors the hole lot of them. I hope you liberals enjoy the power you played this game of game of death with our countrymen for and still are.

In the wake of Senator Barbara Boxers (D-CA) unkind and ignorant remarks last Thursday regarding Condi, " that without an immediate family, Rice will pay no personal price for the Bush administration policy in Iraq." Because Condi is single and w...

You need about 1260ft-lbf to seperate the neck. Take this, divide by the prisoner’s weight, and voila, the appropriate length. Too short and he chokes, too long, and well, things break off. ">Comment #2 ">SFB said, January 15, 2007 at 10:44 am So the Iraqi hangmen are not experts. I’m still not losing any sleep for these guys. Somehow, I don’t see any point in trying to apply western valuses to this situation. Additionally, western elites may oppose the death penalty, but most of the public would gladly bring it back.
