I know the answer may seem obvious, and there are probably various reasons; however and most specifically to Iraq: Clerics that assume power, and individuals like Osama have no quams about letting their identity known. They boast their actions with a manical pride. For they have multitudes of followers that also claim they have devoted their life to fighting the US. I wonder why they further a cowardly act such as this by wearing masks. It was the same with Dan Pearl. Its a small issue compared to this man losing his life. It puzzles me if they view their cause so highly and the devotion runs high enough to do such a thing and make whatever statement is being attempted why they dont have the guts to look the world in the face without hiding.
I have mixed feelings about allot of things in that area of the world, but this video infuriates me.
