Filtered Press Reporting on Found Body

A reader / commenter sent along a link and text from a particularly graphic story at Yahoo News. It was not accessible to me, perhaps for tech or membership issues. Articles I did find on the issue through general news links were much less graphic. It wasn't until I searched the web and found this entry in the Turkish Press that I confirmed what was sent to me. It once again shows the truly despicable nature of our enemy in this fight.

FALLUJAH, Iraq, Nov 14 (AFP) - The body of a blonde-haired woman with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit was found Sunday lying on a street in Fallujah, a notorious Iraqi enclave for hostage-takers, marines said.

"It is definitely a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair," said a military official, who cut open a cover that had been over the corpse.

The gruesome discovery was made as the marines moved through the south of Fallujah, hunting out the remaining rebels after a week of fierce fighting to regain control of the city.

"It is a female ... missing all four appendages, with a slashed throat and disemboweled, she has been dead for a while but only in this location for a day or two," said Benjamin Finnell, a hospital apprentice with the Navy Corps, who had inspected the body.

An AFP photographer embedded with the marines noted that the woman was wearing a blue dress and her face was completely disfigured.

The marines said she appeared to have been on the street for about two days.

Two foreign women have been abducted in Iraq and remain missing.

One, Teresa Borcz, 54, a Pole, has blonde hair, the other, British aid worker Margaret Hassan, 59, has chestnut-coloured hair.

More than 200 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq since April by different militant groups and many have been beheaded.

This has REALLY pissed me off to no end, too.

All the MSM are pulling from the same whitewashed AP article.

They'd just HATE to get "the people" pissed off more at terrorists. I bet if pressed they'd lie and claim that the omission was made out of "sensitivity" to their readers.
BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere, somehow, someway, our Almighty God will destroy them. It may be in words or deeds, but so help us all; God's will be done.

A Soldier, a Marine, having been shot at and shelled for God knows how long, comes across a split second decision to save his and his buddies lives. The press, the anti American free press they're dying for, makes them out to be war criminals, for that one nanosecond decision they made. Like the saying goes, "you pissed off the wrong Marine."
