[muchacho]

DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi Islamist group beheaded an Iraqi contractor it said was working for U.S. forces, a video on an Islamist Web site showed Saturday.

The footage from the group, Ansar al-Sunna, showed a militant beheading the man, identified as Iraqi national Barea Nafea Dawoud Ibrahim.

The group said in a statement accompanying the video that Ibrahim was an "apostate" (a person who abandons their faith). It was dated Oct. 2.

"I have set up three telecommunications networks for the Iraqi National Guard. I have been working in Taji since June 2004," a frightened-looking Ibrahim told the camera. He was wearing an access badge issued by the U.S. forces around his neck.

Two men later held him down and one proceeded to behead him, before placing his severed head on top of his body.

"We say to all those who even consider working with the crusader forces that they should repent," the group warned.

1. That's why colonialism doesn't work that well.

Someone should tell Bush about the history of colonialism, and why Spain, France, and England all gave up their colonies.

Perhaps there's a children's book on the subject that someone like Dubya could understand.

everything is fine, pay no attention to the fact that now they are beheading their own people, P-SHAW!!...

Id love to see the UN go berserk one day and every single country revolt against the US. I know we all know the story but if you lay it out, shit, it's just fucking criminal beyond anyone's comprehension.
