Iraqi militant group releases video of killing of 3 drivers who aided U.S.

[Barrett808]

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - A video posted on the Internet Tuesday shows three Arab truck drivers being shot to death, apparently for transferring goods to U.S. troops.

One victim was a Jordanian man shown apologizing for helping the U.S. military and advising others to stop cooperating with U.S. troops.

Two Iraqi drivers, reportedly seized outside the al-Asad base west of Baghdad, are shown making similar statements before all three were shot dead by a masked man.

Iraqi militant group Ansar al-Sunnah Army took responsibility for the executions in a statement warning "all those who assist the Crusaders." The group labeled them "partners in shedding the blood of innocent Muslims." The authenticity of the videos and an accompanying statement could not be verified.

1. Bravo, more media coverage, more more more

I hate this stuff, but it needs to be getting out to the public more and more and more. I hate worse the statements "we gave them their freedom and they just don't know what to do with it". More coverage, good.

4. There are *many* people who support the insurgents

All over Iraq and beyond. So many, in fact, that the occupation -- and US designs on Iraqi oil -- are probably doomed.

5. Yep, just like Americans supported Iraqi insurgents who slaughtered

tens of thousands of Iraqis in 1991...and then supported the Iraqi government putting down those Iraqi insurgents....and then used the putting down of those Iraqi insurgents, with US support, as reason to invade Iraq...and we're now putting down Iraqi insurgents.

And the buh-bye poster never heard about what we, the Brits, the Canadians, the French, the Belgians, etc etc etc did in WWII to collaborators, apparently.
