#1 Good for Bigley, and good for Great Britain. Sorry he didn't make it, but he died as a free man. Condolences to my friends across the Pond.

#3 Here is what pisses me off. The MSM is spinning this, as if the attempted escape killed Bigley. Somehow blaming the escape instead blaming the Islamofacist pagan worshipping terrorists. I am happy to hear that the majority of people are getting their news from the Internet. I hope the ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC's, would just fall off the cliff soon.

RIP, Bigley. You are a HERO.

#4 Word is the SAS is after them. Good. I look forward to hearing about dozens of deaths in the near future.

#5 Poor Bigley but poorer his family especially his lily-livered brother and all his ilk in the UK who see this one man who was not coerced to be there as some kind of nullification of the war on terror. Shame on you.

#6 I am especially saddened and disappointed by this news. I fell for the "rope-a-dope" articles that played with us - like a cat with a mouse.

They would never have let Bigley go. It is so much more terrible because of the maybe-maybe not aspect of his killing.

I am truly saddened and sickened by his death - just like the terrorists had hoped. I can only hope that the Delta guys catch them and that it was the capture and toying with Mr. Bigley that leads to Zarqawi's demise.

#7 What 2b said. I fell for it too.

#8 Same here. Should know better than to believe anything put out by the MSM as regards unfolding combat operations or terror.

#9 The spin on this is shameful, as though in some way if he'd just been quiet about it all, he would have survived. Almost all the UK papers today (Saturday) have it on the frontpage and (most) are disgusted by it.

I want our boys to make those fuckers bleed, then for Zarqawi to be captured having had an extreme amount of pain applied to him.

A TV news report came on about Liverpool having 2 minutes of silence, flags at half-mast and the England-Wales game also having a minutes silence, and I had to leave the room as I was getting more wound up and knew I'd lose my temper. It's the feeling of not being able to *do anything* about it.

That's why I want our lads to get medieval on them...

#10 Howard's re-elected in Australia.

National outrage across Britain at the jihadists.

Bush comes back swinging and looks to be coming on strong for Nov 2.

Coalition forces finally taking the gloves off in Samarra and Fallujah.

Anyone else sense a tide turning?
