Official notes

Rulings

April 1, 2008 Wizards of the Coast

The player whose turn it is chooses a creature to sacrifice, then each other player in turn order chooses a creature to sacrifice, then all chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
October 4, 2004 Wizards of the Coast

The "sacrifice a creature" effect is not targeted. It can affect creatures with protection from black, for example.
