The fact that this one was American shouldnt matter anymore then if they are French, Canadian, German, or whatever. We are not above anyone, but the news media makes it look like we are.

Exactly my point.
Apparently the individual who performed the beheading could have been Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, here is a translation of what the suspect said:
Quote:
During the statement before the killing, the speaker said Tawhid and Jihad was taking revenge for women Iraqi prisoners and called U.S. President George W. Bush "a dog."
"You, sister, rejoice. God's soldiers are coming to get you out of your chains and restore your purity by returning you to your mother and father."
Addressing U.S. President George W. Bush, he said: "Now, you have people who love death just like you love life. Killing for the sake of God is their best wish, getting to your soldiers and allies are their happiest moments, and cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing the orders of our lord."
"The fate of the first infidel was cutting off the head before your eyes and ears. You have a 24-hour opportunity. Abide by our demand in full and release all the Muslim women, otherwise the head of the other will follow this one," the speaker said.
