Well, the thing is, I knew of this guy being missing before this happened. 
I stumbled across it over the weekend because there was so much info coming 
out of PA re: Camp Bucca/Girman. So, my feeds were picking up reports of 
this guy being missing. The reports cycled and then all of a sudden about 
23 hrs. ago, it was announced that a body had been found on an overpass. 
Nothing in the reports mentioned that he was wearing a orange jumpsuit or 
that he'd been beheaded, though it was mentioned that they found a body 
that had been traumatized.

Of course, the family had already been told by the time yesterday's reports 
started circulating. And, mysteriously--magically--the news makes headlines 
in the midst of Taguba's hearing.

Not that I'm saying that Shrub did this, but I do think the timing of the 
news story is pretty freakin' suspicious. If I were the family, I'd want 
photos of the body as it was found.
