Isn't it obvious? The same reason that they butchered Daniel Pearl. They think that doing something like that is going to scare us - shake our resolve and convince us to surrender. Or, even more (as we've seen) convince us that this is somehow _our fault_, and that we are to blame because our enemies act like this. I think that they are mistaken in this and that it will not, in fact, erode American resolve, instead strengthening it (if the media does its job and shows the images), but hey, I could be wrong. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
