BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera television said Tuesday that Iraqi militants executed an American soldier because the U.S. government did not change its policy in Iraq. There was no immediate comment from U.S. officials.

Pfc. Keith M. Maupin of Batavia, Ohio was captured in April during an ambush on a convoy west of Baghdad.

The Arab satellite station aired video showing a blindfolded person sitting on the ground but did not show the killing. The station said the militants shot him.

There's no word, of course, as to who the possible killers are. Frankly, it's too bad. One can hope that new Iraqi courts will dispense the same level of justice they're demanding for Abu Ghraib.

Maybe they're the same killers who did Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman ....
