Decapitated Corpse Given to U.S. Officials

Although it's suspected to be Jack Hensley, there is no confirmation yet on the identity of the decapitated corpse handed over to the U.S. by Iraqi officials.

The body was found with its severed head in a black plastic bag in Baghdad's Amiriya neighborhood, said Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman, an official with the Interior Ministry. The U.S. Embassy confirmed that a headless body was handed over to American authorities, but said officials were still trying to determine the identity of the corpse.

So far, the promised video images of Hensley's alleged execution have not been produced.

Being unable to immediately determine the identity of a decapitated corpse bespeaks the wanton and arbitrary nature of the murders committed by the terrorists in Iraq.

[Update 10:50am EDT] Confirmation has been received that the body handed over is Jack Hensley.
