On The Hunt

British intelligence has identified the man believed to have beheaded James Foley. He's 23-year old Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who is known to Islamic State militants as Jihadi John.

It turns out the guy also has a stage name,  L Jinny, from his days as a rapper. Some of his music was played on BBC1.  His recordings are being used with voice recognition technology to identify him as Foley's killer.

Meanwhile, as I suggested the other day, SAS teams are loose in northern Iraq on the hunt for Jihadi John.  I get the feeling that L Jinny's rapping career is about over.

Don't you just love revenge killings?

I think there walk among us animals so feral and malevolent that they need to die. Someone who would draw a knife and sever the head of an innocent is certainly an animal that has no useful purpose on this Earth. As an example to those who admire him and perhaps would emulate him I want him hunted down and exterminated.

The same sense of "justice" is what drive what you call these animals.

Is the torture that we inflict in the same of democracy any different from theirs? Sure, our methods may be more "evolved" but the end result is the same...
