1. Sorry, I don't see any orange jumpsuit in the picture.

Perhaps my tinfoil hat is not properly attuned?

4. Read the text

The jumpsuit is mentioned, not shown:

"The videotape of Kim, apparently made shortly before his death, showed him kneeling, blindfolded and wearing an orange jumpsuit similar to those issued to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."

8. I stand corrected.

That is interesting.

From my POV, executing Kim while wearing an orange jumpsuit is a symbolic statement, connecting his death with the torture of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

Unless, of course, there's a white plastic chair in the video. Then I don't know what to think. ;)

They are just going to keep on doing these beheadings until they get one right, it seems.

Someone posted a link to an article the other day that had (IMHO) a rather vague reference to the jumpsuits being similar in color to a "reddish" hue, supposedly the traditional color of the condemned.

On edit: I found the link with a bit of googling:

9. Time out

Let us pray for the comfort and peace of all of the families who have lost a loved one in this asinine war or should I say conflict since congress has never declared war under the war powers act. Could it be that these be-headings are being carried out by Saudis who are CIA operatives?
