I'm guessing that Mr. Sullivan would not be amused by the pork hood, or the trunk half-full of bacon fat, or the Ham Room, but might think that the sack was OK, if not particularly comedic. All pig meat-related fun is, as he puts it, "anti-Muslim technique."
Of course, I am talking about Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi here. The fact that we Americans will eat anything, coupled with a failure of imagination, probably meant that a simple beheading was all he could muster up for the people that he murdered.
Still... it's just wrong to humiliate someone because of their religious beliefs.
So this evening, when I hog-tie Abu, wrap him in prosciutto, and lock him in the high-decibel Klezmer Kabinet, it will be because he's an evil fascist bastard with no more right to live on god's good earth than a weasel.
