PAUL JOHNSON THE LATEST BEHEADING - BUSH USES DEATH TO PROMOTE WAR!
(19.06.2004)
Once again the American government have quickly placed a label on the killers of Paul Johnson, the latest American to be beheaded.
Whilst it is perhaps too soon to make judgements, again we see an orange jumpsuit involved and a "now you see it, now you don't"video that was supposed to be on a website, but the site is "closed" for maintenance?
Presumably, the site is still online for someone to see this message, so why take the information off? And what is the name of the site?
Our sympathies go out to the family and friends of Paul Johnson who has been murdered. But it is of concern to us that the details are again somewhat vague and bring back memories of the Nick Berg video.
George Bush opened his recent statement on the beheading by offering his sympathies to the family of Paul Johnson and then began a carefully prepared speech which sounded more like an electoral promotion. There was very little (if any) emotion in his voice and his words sounded cold and empty.
He suggested that this should act as a "reminder" that "we must pursue these people". He used words designed to anger the American people like "intimidate" (twice), killed in "cold blood". In another speech he stated that we (the American people) should not "abandon our mission" and should "finish the job"
An American citizen has just been beheaded and he wants to use this tragedy to promote his ambitions in Iraq, a war that indirectly got Paul Johnson killed. Has this man no shame at all?
The word barbaric was used by Bush and Colin Powell (a coincidence, or a limited vocabulary?). Yes, the beheading is Barbaric, Horrendous, Horrifying, Ghastly and much more. But it is also terrible to use this mans death to promote his own personal interests (especially so soon after the event).
We shall be very interested to see more news on the website that is down for "maintenance"? And who actually discovered the link to it. How do people find these obscure sites just before they close?
