SUWAYRA, Iraq (Reuters) - The bodies of 11 Iraqis, including the headless corpse of a 10-year-old boy, were found dumped in the Tigris river south of Baghdad on Tuesday, police sources said.

The bodies, nine of whom were beheaded, were discovered near the Sunni town of Suwayra, 25 miles southeast of Baghdad. Seven of them were wearing Iraqi security forces uniforms.

Police said the victims had been killed four or five days ago. All had their hands tied.

Police could not confirm the motive for the killing but sectarian violence has increased sharply since the February 22 bombing of a Shi'ite shrine sparked a wave of reprisals.

The dumping of bodies -- many of them bearing signs of torture -- is a common occurrence in Iraq.

1. Okay where's the good news?

You know per bushlimbaugh logic one must provide a happy face story from the war zone if one wants to provide bad news. And how accurate is that story you present? Its probably just some librul lie intent on making george bush look bad. Why do you hate America?

The dumping of tortured bodies, a common occurrence. These people are so much better off without Hussein.

2. They hate us for our Freedoms!

Gee, as much as Saddam was a bd guy and everything, I don't recall it was commonplace for bodies to be washing up all the time.

And for the love of all that is good, "headless corpse of a 10 year old boy"????????

There are no words....

6. Another example of freedom on the march. (BTW 9-11)

Who needs their head when freedom is on the march and schools are being painted? This is good news!
Oh, and 9-11.

We don't want to cut and run, that would be sending the terrorist the wrong message. If we cut and ran, we would be sending the message that we'd like for people to keep their heads.

When we were attacked on 9-11, we think heads may have been responsible so we decided to free other heads from their bodies. You never know those heads may be up to!!

Just imagine if we had not freed Iraq the Iraqis would have kept their collective heads.
Aint freedumb grand? 9-11!!!!:sarcasm:

When is this shit going to end? :cry:

9. Biting humor! Thank you for that...

I know this isn't a laughing matter, but the whole situation is so hideous that if we didn't laugh it would be unbearable. Oh, and 9-11.

Hey, I like that! Maybe we should all start using it. Whenever we refer to anything related to the Emperor's Giant ClusterF**, we should append, "Oh, and 9-11".

If we can't get their attention with reason, maybe we can get it with ridicule. :silly:

7. Just a little more...

..."collateral damage" in Busholini's WWIII global mind fuck.

Just sit back citizen as our great leader protects us from the infidel.

8. Just asking, here...

But is this some of Negroponte's doing? You know...the Salvador Option and all. Or is it really "sectarian" violence? Sorry..can't keep my players straight.

....Or maybe nobody knows. :(

10. Negroponte's people are at work

This killing has all the earmarks of his ruthless bloodthirsty ways.
