Sitting here watching NBC nightly news, and I am ashamed to call myself an American. For those of you who havent seen or read the news yet, here's a little breifing

I saw the full uncensored video of that contractor being decapitated. That scared the shit out of me. Any person who is that gruesome does not deserve life.
Yet, I completely understand the frustration of the Iraqi civilians. We went to liberate the Iraqi people from a ruthless dictator. A dictator who punished his own civilians. A dictator who beat, raped, and tortured countless Iraqi civilians.
And then we do the same thing. What else do the American people expect?!
But something tells me that the decapitation was fabricated. I mean, how convenient would it be for our government to put out a video of an American being executed right after it's been accused of torture? Maybe I'm just paranoid or cynical...but you never know.
The US went into this war expecting that it could take the moral high ground, and evidence (as you full well know) has recently surfaced that clearly indicts us for doing the absolute opposite of what we promised to do. We denounce Saddam Hussein for torture, then we go do it ourselves. The beheading was certainly a disgusting act, there's no question about that. But nonetheless it's a blatant act of hypocrisy and an exhibition of our double standards for us to go bitching and moaning about this beheading to the rest of the world while trying to suppress as many photos as possible of abuse at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. We promised retribution for the guilty parties as soon as we heard about the beheading, and you know what we're going to do with them? We'll probably throw them straight into Abu Ghraib, and it'll be them naked in the next photos that come out. And it'll come back to bite us in the ass someday.
