Final note on the beheading
I thought I might note that my Iraqi maid, not known for her delicate sensibilities or deep seated concern for American blood (you may ask why I employ a maid who cheers when the TV shows Americans getting killed, but she loves me like a mum - truly a bizarre connexion and perhaps worthy of some study of the rule of the personal over the abstract), found the murder of our innocent fool a bit much. Indeed, unlike the murders of the contractors, she expressed some regret that the "meskine" got whacked.
Of course, she also agreed that the guy not knowing Arabic and wandering around was an act of hamaqa.
