Not really a shocking headline, Rev. A shocking headline would be:
"Islamist terrorists don't slaughter innocent hostage".

You see how good "an eye for an eye" works.
Pretty damn good, I'd say, from what I read.
Guess we should have turned the other cheek, gave'em a Big Hug, and sent them on their merry little way.

The beheading drew a chorus of condemnation from around the world, with even one of America's staunchest foes, Syria, calling it a "shameful crime."
And in Algeria, the military say they've killed one of North Africa's most-wanted terror leaders, who allied his group with Osama bin Laden. The military say Nabil Sahraoui, one of his right-hand men and other key lieutenants were killed in what they call an ongoing "vast anti-terrorist operation" by army units in the Kabylie region east of the capital, Algiers.
AEFAE works For Me...if that's the way the Scuzbuckets apparently want it...and...not only for me, but I'd say roughly 30,000 additional Oil-Splattered All-American Cowboys and Cowbabes we were amongst who partied all day and
night Friday and Saturday in Birmingham, AL, USA -celebrating the deaths of these Al-Qaida Bastards.
Thank You, Saudi Arabia and Algeria.
Playtime is Over. The Extermination has Begun.
We'll drink to that...
HEY...............................
LISTEN...............................
REAL Close............................
...is that al-Moqrin, al-Mutairi, Sahraoui and Aldakheel screaming in Hell that I hear?
It IS!!
I'M LOVIN' IT!!

Well, yuh know, Seizguy, many folks get the "eye for an eye" thing wrong.
It's from somewhere in the Old Testament and isn't about revenge at all. It's just the opposite in fact - and it's a rule of law that's used today by every civilized nation in determining punishment. Basically "the punishment should not exceed the crime". Speeding should get you a $50 ticket instead of, say, a beheading. Of course, I know you personally wouldn't drive over 30 mph even on the interstate, heh. But, I digress ....anyhooo, "a tooth for a tooth" means the law goes after 1 tooth, not all the choppers, the jaw, neck, etc. - so it's actually a fairness 'limiting thing'. Thus a fellow who runs around hacking off innocent folk's heads should really expect that "what goes around will come around" in like proportion - no more, no less.
The dark humor irony here is, had he surrended (instead of having a shoot-out) to the authorities and if he were convicted of murder by the Saudis, I believe their usual mode of punishment for such a crime is a beheading :: Double heh ::
At any rate, the proper "body/bio analogy" for this isn't the oft misunderstood & maligned "eye 4 an eye" axiom, but rather a term noting how sometimes a part of the anatomy is removed to save the non-diseased, whole body - as happens in cancer and other life-threatening cases. In that vein, "Terrorist-ectomy" would be the working term here.
