All of a sudden....

....it's "political violence"?

An American kidnapped in November pleaded for his life in a video aired Tuesday, and at least a dozen Iraqis died in Baghdad as political violence continued to plague the country five days before Sunday's crucial elections for a new National Assembly.

Political violence? Please!

This isn't politcal violence. This is malicious, hateful, evil insanity. This is treachery of the worst kind. Don't belittle by calling it political violence. Iraqis are dying every day. So are Americans. Have the cojones to call it what it is - murderous butchery of the worst kind.
