I haven't and shut off the radio when they were going to play the screams. I have enugh problems sleeping without hearing of seeing that. Most who have watched it say they wish they hadn't.

Some idiots are now claiming it was done by Americans in the Abu whatever prison.

I have, and said here I wish I hadn't. They didn't "behead" him, they "slaughtered" him. A beheading is when the victim kneels and has his head chopped off from behind. A slaughter is when they sacrifice a sheep by grabbing it from behind and cutting it's throat. That is what they did to Nick.

Nick obviously didn't expect it to happen until he grabbed him and put the knife put to his throat. That is when he screamed. The bastard then saws and slices through all the way while holding his head, drops the body, which has blood coming out and on to the floor. He then holds the head up to the camera.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch it. It's hard to forget.
