#7 Now we have food for the gators in the Gaza Strip moat, mentioned elsewhere, before they are released!

One gator says to another : Al-Muqrin; tastes like chicken!

#11 Produce the body, and allow for the taking of samples for DNA analysis, and when confirmed that it is indeed Mooqy then I'll applaud their efforts. Until then, color me skeptical.

#12 Skeptical here, too. They sure made that look easy, didn't they? Too easy, methinks.

#14 Hmm, looks like one or more teams on the Saudi "security forces" payroll didn't get the word to avert their eyes and let them pass.

Somebody's gonna lose a pension for this screwup

Yes a bit too esay. Notice that it was Adbullah's faction that reported it. Nayef's faction must've allowed the 'security action' to happen.

Fox News reports al-Muqrin and two other cut-throats were killed while disposing of Johnson's body. At least there's a little bit of justice in the world.

Sounds like the Saudis needed to get rid of an inconvenient witness.

Not sure about that one, .com. Sounds too much like something that involves penalty strokes with a special grip on your wood's shaft.

#18 One gator says to another : Al-Muqrin; tastes like chicken!

I'll go with Gary Larson instead:

One crocodile says to the other: Man, that was incredible. No claws, fangs, horns or nothin' ... just soft and pink!

#21 I think is all BS! The terrorists were "smart" enough to hide to the point that "15,0000 troops working with some American special forces could not find where they were keeping Johnson, but are caught trying to dispose of the body? No way!

This is as true as the "storming" of the Oasis compounds by Saudi forces to rescue the hostages. Has everybody forgotten how that greaseball and Bandar said they rescued 7 americans? The Americans rescued themselves by going up to the roof and cutting the access to the terrorists, hours before the saudis got there.
