Insane, sadistic fanatics claim to have beheaded a Marine hostage.

Al-Reuter’s headline: Militants Say Abducted U.S. Soldier Beheaded in Iraq

They are not ‘militants’. They are insane sadistic fanatics and if they are followers of Zarqawi they probably are invaders rather than insurgents. They are nothing but Thuggees who worship Allah rather than Kali.

Hat tip to Dean’s World for the heads-up.

Note to the Marines. Get them. Note to the government: If you don’t let the Marines get them, you are a bunch of pussies.

[Update] Jeff Quinton has a roundup of bloggers covering the story and James Joyner has more info and updates (and a roundup of his own).
