#5 The Japanese lefties got released also, but Nick Berg and the South Korean kid got chopped. The message is muddled. Zarqawi must be relying on focus groups.

#7 "Zarqawi must be relying on focus groups..."

LOL.

"Hokay, thanks for coming today. Before you get lunch, let me ask you a few questions. We got a Marine out back and we're thinking about chopping his head off. How do you all feel about that? Yeah, you in the back, sir."

"Not so good, Mr. Zarqawi."

"And why is that, I'm wondering?"

"Because if you do, the Marines will come here and whip the ever-loving snot out of us."

"Well, you've heard one point of view. Who's next?"

#11 Not focus groups... if it is centrally directed perhaps is giving irregular rewards.... ala pinball and slot machines. It's a very effective way to change behavior for higher mammals.

#12 He and his other sons have contacted politicians and Muslim clerics in Lebanon and Islamist groups in Iraq in hopes of securing the Marine’s release.

The whole Middle East is nothing more than one big spider's web: pull one or two strands and the whole thing moves.

#13 This is the weirdest story--I hate it.
How did this guy get in the Marines and why does his Muslim Lebanese family live in Mormon-dominated Utah?

#14 More intriguing yet, why is the Interior Minister of Lebanon (another article) taken upon himself to give information on the fate of an American Marine?
He is an American, is he not? Shouldn't somebody from the US Army be the one in charge of securing his realease and informing the public about it?

#15 Jen - prolly 'cuz Utah has a lot of high-desert, mormons like that polygamy thing, look down on drink, and the big one - it doesn't have enough 7/11s.
