Esoterica, I think they know very well what they are doing and they are getting the reaction they want.

No, do you have a link on this? Having lived in the middle east...let's just say, I don't see Ms. Iraq getting the Ms. Universe title... (sorry, just trying to add a little levity here...as this is getting depressing)
For Huda Shaker, the humiliation began at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Baghdad. The American soldiers demanded to search her handbag. When she refused one of the soldiers pointed his gun towards her chest.
"He pointed the laser sight directly in the middle of my chest," said Professor Shaker, a political scientist at Baghdad University. "Then he pointed to his penis. He told me, 'Come here, bitch, I'm going to # you.'"
The incident is one of a number in which US soldiers are alleged to have abused, intimidated or sexually humiliated Iraqi women.
Hilas also said he witnessed an Army translator having sex with a boy at the prison. He said the boy was between 15 and 18 years old. Someone hung sheets to block the view, but Hilas said he heard the boy's screams and climbed a door to get a better look. Hilas said he watched the assault and told investigators that it was documented by a female soldier taking pictures.

Everything isn't Black or White, Up or Down, Right or Left.
The difference between the so-called "Liberals" and the the run-of-the-mill "Conservatives" is that the "Liberals" think things out, and analyze the situation, and understand complexities.
While the "Conservatives" just say, "F*** it! Shoot first and ask questions later! Don't bother me with details, I'm not interested, I have already decided."

Hassan was described as " a friend of the Arab world". She was kidnapped last month.
More to come as this story develops...

When in history has this happened before? An enemy kidnaps civilians, makes absurd demands, and beheads the innocent...all in the name of Allah.

This has always happened when islamic radicals are involved.

These are not all the same groups...Zarqawi asked for the people who kidnapped her, to free her, but they did not.
They are monsters and murderers, and anyone who kills a woman deserves the worst death.
However, do not go blaming all Muslims, or even all the insurgents, for this despicable act.
Insurgents fight against military targets (by whatever methods).
Terrorists target and kill civilians.
Demons target and kill women and children.
These were demons, not people.

Was she claimed by any particular group?
I think not.
This killing is perhaps one of the most clear indications that groups loyal to the Washington and Tel Aviv outcrops are involved in these deeds
Who benefits? - only the Bushist clan. Like the UBL video, this only confirms the impressions and justifications in the charmed Western population
100% BS

This has been constructed over a few decades by Hollywood and controlled events
It's redolent of the Jews in the 30's portrayed as usurious, blood-sucking child sacrificers
The Muslims are the new Jews
