It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they did.. not in the least, but I think in this occasion the cigar is just a cigar.
It's far more feasible that kidnap-happy and bloodthirsty terrorists kidnapped and killed a civilian they found in retaliation for the prisoner abuse or just for kicks - it's what they do... It wouldn't take a CIA plan to make it happen..
who knows maybe it wasn't as planned.. maybe they dropped him off in the middle of fallujah or something and "hoped for the worst".
But in this case i'd be 90% sure it's Al Quaeda being Al Quaeda.
They benefit as well, don't forget thay want the US to be pissed off as well, they want more iraqi civilians to die at the hands of pissed off marines. It all helps their recruitment.. the only loser out of Iraq, Al Queada and Bush in this scenario is Iraq.
I'd bet Al Quaeda wants Bush to win the next election.. it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, Bush gets his bogeyman to take attention of his domestic shortcomings and AlQuaeda get their bogeyman to boost membership, they need a short sighted idiot stumbling through the ME knocking things over and pissing off the locals, if everything was hunky dory there would be any need to run around with a pound of TNT up your ass.
