#1 The Red Indians used to put bodies of animals or people in dug wells to poison them. and drive the EEEVIL WHITIES out.

Sounds like history is once again repeating itself.

#2 Christian bodies or Muslim bodies? I seem to remember the Quran forbids poisoning wells... of course, jihadis are known for how well they follow the details of the rules for killing unbelievers, beyond the general admonition to do so.

#6 Global rights watchdog Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Saturday urged Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to order "an immediate criminal investigation into credible reports of a massacre of at least 150 Muslim residents of a town in central Nigeria."

No complaints by HRW if it had been the other way round.

#8 Redneck Jim, maybe not. After Gettysburg Union soldiers were throwing dead Confederates down wells so they wouldn't have to bury them. When it was found out they did have to go back and take the bodies out. Understand, it was July, very hot and the Confederates were attended to last. Wells were convenient.
