Why did the atrocious beheadings in Iraq end after the election?
Just wondering. Didn't they pretty much stop right after Bush was pretty much accepted as the winner? Is that my imagination? What's up with that?

1. Good question. Shall we call the CIA?
Another thing that was abruptly ended are the terror warnings (color coded warnings).

3. Could it be related to the simultaneous, baffling cessation of
the color-coded Fear Alerts from the Ministry of Fatherland Security?

9. They probably aren't reporting them anymore
what's the point of reporting them? It would just make things look even worse.

10. Anybody here watch Fox news?
I don't. Can't really stomach it, but I was wondering if they are still running the alert level in the runner at the bottom of the screen. Wouldn't it be interesting if that also stopped?!
