No, he wasn't a soldier, just like the 3000+ that were killed in the WTC, Pentagon, and the flight over PA weren't. These people are chicken$hits, plain and simple. I really think that we just should just give Iraq a little more time, then if those barbarians want to let their country fall back into the stone age like it was under saddam, so be it; the more they kill off themselves the better this world will be.
The worst part about this is how everyone has been making such a huge deal about posing some naked prisoners, while things like this go comparitively uncovered in the news. I have been watching CNN now for about an hour(shudders), and have seen 4 mentions of the great inquisition, and only one about this story. The fact that a man, who was helping to rebuild the nation that those cretans will be living in after we leave, was executed on video makes me sick, and hate those people in the mid-east even more.
I know you PC police will come after me for saying this, but just think about how better off the world would if somehow the entire region was turned into a giant glow in the dark parking lot. Sure there is conflict in other parts of the world, but nothing compares to what these people do to themselves, but more importantly U.S. citizins and soldiers on a daily basis.
I'm tired of people putting the quality of life of people who were trying to kill us, ahead of an execution of someone who was rebuilding their country for them! Hell, some of the hazing that goes on in fraternities is worse than what they did to the prisoners! Just imagine how worse off these prisoners would be, if we ran our prisons like those anywhere else in the world; if it was Iraq, they would have been tortured and killed by now.
If it wasnt for us, the Iraqi's would have still been slaughterd, raped, tourtured (thats real tourture) by the tens of thousands!
