Fuck, now that is very very scary if that is indeed what went down here.

Nothing would surprise me with this administration. Look at what all this does for Bushco.
1. Now the prison abuses don't look so bad and it takes attention away from it.
2. The Iraq war has turned into a disaster and Bush knows it. It is completely out of control and more and more people (54% in the latest poll) think it was a mistake. With the beheading more people think we did the right thing.
3. 6 months before the election and Bushes popularity continues to fall, what better thing to get the people behind him again, an act by the 'enemy' so shocking people once again will feel we need 'a war president' in charge.
I'm not saying I have no doubt Bushco was behind this but the timing is very odd along with other things. I mean the man has already killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, so whats one more life to save his re-election.
