Arabia
Saudis 'find head' of US hostage Paul Johnson
2004-07-21
The head of a US man kidnapped and killed in Saudi Arabia has been found in a police raid, security sources say. The head of Paul Johnson is said to have been discovered in a refrigerator during a police raid on an apartment in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
Bastards
Johnson was abducted by militants linked to al-Qaeda in June. Photographs of his beheading were published on an Islamist website. Johnson had been a helicopter engineer for a US defence contractor. The civilian's family had been pressing US officials to establish the whereabouts of his body. More details follow shortly.

#5  What most people don't understand is that the western expansion featured a number of setbacks and outright defeats of the American military, just read up on the Seminole Wars in Florida. The overall result however is plain to be seen.

#1  I still think we ought to send a delegation of Apache and Sioux leaders to explain to these people what happens when you convince the American public that you are just 'savages'. Scalps, heads, all the same. And a lot of America's original inhabitants' decendents are not enjoying the 'good life' of the American dream even to this day without a whole lot of generational guilt felt by most of the present population of the country.
