#1 In the footage, shown on Sunday evening, the man, whose accent strongly suggests he is from the region and not a foreigner, makes a plea to the camera.

"I really didnât go there to die and I still donât want to die. I swear, I swear to Allah the almighty, that I want to live," he says.

To the jihadi ( and paraphrasing a line from a movie ):

I won't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathy

#4 "I really didnât go there to die and I still donât want to die. I swear, I swear to Allah the almighty, that I want to live," he says.

I don't think Allah has much of a say in it at this point, not so brave jihadi.

#6 This weasely coward wants to live?

So did those children.

I hope his death is slow and painful, and he's sent back to his family from 10,000 feet.

Strapped to a bomb.

Wrapped in bacon and pig fat.

#7 "I really didnât go there to die and I still donât want to die. I swear, I swear to Allah the almighty, that I want to live," he says.

He held children at gunpoint and under threat of bombs. By any sane set of laws, he's one of their murderers.

Find an electric fence charger and slowly burn every scrap of flesh from his body. It won't be nearly enough pain to compensate, but it will be a start.

#8 Notice that he doesn't look like he's been kicked all over, or bayonetted, or blown to bits. He even looks like he's had some water, maybe even food.

I commend the Russians who *didn't* decide to shove a knife up his arse, and turn it. This filth needs to be seen bleating for its life, then sucked dry of all the information they can get from it, then do something inventive like Barbara is suggesting.

#9 Tony, hate to burst your bubble, but...

Electrical devices dont leave much of a mark, and rubber hose marks could be concealed easily by his clothing.

This also discounts needle marks from cutaenous (into the skin right into the layer where the nerve endings are, not below it) injection of various substances - there are common field expedients like Capsaicin (good ol Tabasco, or Tiger Balm) readily available, with target areas like the armpits, soles of the feet, scrotum and tissues around the pudendum and anus, and directly into the urethra.

Don't ask me how I know such things. The US doesn't use them. But there was once this group known as the 8th Department of the First Chief Directorate of the Commitee for State Security, and they would come up with a lot of rather inventive "field expedient" methods of interrogation in Afghanistan in the 1980's.

Except now they will not be nearly as restrained - htis is thier home they are defending.

I actually pity these guys - with this kind of wanton slaughter of children, Putin will take the gloves off. And he still probably still has his phone book from his days as a KGB man.

#10 Don't ask me how I know such things.

Uh-uh. No sir. Not me.
You got any daughters, OS? Must've been a hoot when you got to meet the boyfriends for the first time.

#11 "I really didnât go there to die and I still donât want to die. I swear, I swear to Allah the almighty, that I want to live," he says.

You'll change your mind, you bastard. Soon, you will beg for death.

#12 OS - that reminds me of the part of the Patton speech.

You know, by god I, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against, by god, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards; we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks.

Not a good time to be anyone the Russians think had anything to do with this atrocity.
