"Militants" Behead Teacher in Pakistan

The AP says "suspected militants" beheaded a teacher in Pakistan after he was accused of being a "spy" for the U.S. You wouldn't want to call them terrorists or anything offensive like that. But, to their credit, they also identify the perpetrators as "Islamic". Because, you know, there was some question as to their religious identity.

This is not the same Akhtar Usmani who was a Taliban leader. That Mullah Usmani was second in command to Mullah Omar and was killed by the U.S. in December. AP:

Suspected Islamic militants captured and beheaded a schoolteacher in Pakistan's wild Afghan border area for allegedly spying for the United States, an official said Wednesday.
The man's body was found early Tuesday in a large sack dumped by a road near Jandola, a town in the South Waziristan tribal district, the local security official said. He asked not to be identified due to the sensitive nature of his job.
A note found with the beheaded man's body identified him as "Akhtar Usman, the one who spied for America," the official said.
He said the forehead of the man's severed head was inscribed with the word for "hypocrite" in Urdu, Pakistan's main language.

Tim at Opinion Bug has more. As we noted yesterday, al Qaeda "militants" seem to have returned to their old routine of beheading victims as a method of terrorizing the population. Next we'll see whether or not they also begin distribuiting beheading snuff films. You know, just like the good old days.

4 Captured? Keith Matthew Maupin and Gilad Shalit were captured since Keith was and Gilad is a legitimate soldier. The teacher was kidnapped.

As soon as we can come up with a way to blame this on President George W. Bush, we will be making a statement, until then, please enjoy the sound of the crickets.

Sincerely,
