Video on Islamic militant Web site appears to show beheading of American

[I got the rope]

From what I have read so far about this guy and his father they are both seditious and stupid.

Liberals take note:

If you lie down with dogs...you will get up with fleas.

No, I agree, and I eagerly await Christ's return, because that is the only way there will truly be peace in this world. Upon Christ's return, there will be no more Muslims, they will have bowed down and proclaimed that Christ is Lord.

But, to an extent, the world has now become what Israel lives on a more frequent basis. Israel will never be free from violence, absent absolute eradication of the extremists, or absent Christ's Return.

To the biased media, my protest signs read:

NO MORE PATRIOT'S BLOOD FOR YOUR INK!

NO MORE PATRIOT'S BLOOD FOR YOUR TV COMMENTARY!

What is the American equivalent of the 'Religion of Pus's' fatwa that our moral leaders can declare against the 'news' editors of these blood-sucking pro-enemy organizations?

Listen what Bush needs to do, is get the American pilots who led the Dresden bombing in 1946. I dont care if there 80 years old. They know how to fight wars. They knew only massive force is the way to respond to evil.

[not-alone]

I am so angry with CBS, Hackworth and all the others that used this to give those animals excuses.

There was another prisoner story, Tuesday. But I didn't hear much fuss over it.



In the Arab world, barely a mention of it. In the European media, not much more than an acknowledgment about it.

An American hostage beheaded by his captors. Captors who said they ridded the world of this prisoner because of the way we treat our prisoners.

The world has rightly made a fuss of that treatment. Odd how it barely said boo about "this" treatment.

A 26-year-old American contractor who wanted to do good apparently doesn't top a lot of naked Iraqi prisoners we made look bad.

I guess I'm not looking for an apology.

Though I do recall more than a few demanding of us an apology.

There is no excuse for dragging a prisoner by a dog collar. There is no excuse for beheading a prisoner with a large knife.

The dog collar gets the press and the outrage. The beheading gets some press but no outrage.

Save here. Among Americans who can rightly wonder why the dog collar is deplorable but the beheading not.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't hear any chorus call for hearings on this. No commission to get to the bottom of this. No blue ribbon panels to investigate this.

No, worldwide barely a peep about the savagery of this. Nick Berg doesn't get that. The world all but saying, Nick Berg (search) doesn't warrant that.

Funny, I've heard the world talk on and on and on about prisoners caught naked. Nothing like the naked truth of being caught silent.

The sound… is deafening.



Watch Neil Cavuto's Common Sense weekdays at 4 p.m. ET on "Your World with Cavuto."

[not_apathetic_anymore]

Let's see this footage be seen by the masses.

I have no qualms with this being shown, And I suspect it would crystalize some of the war on terror issues for some folks. I just want the usual disclaimers...disturbing images blah blah, look away now if you don't want to see, etc

I know it's beyond my limit ... but then I don't watch many R rated movies either (if the R is for violence)

[cake_crumb]

The father's certainly seditious and stupid. I'll reserve opinion on the son. As I said before, even if he was an antiwar protestor, he didn't deserve to be murdered. I've never wished murder on anyone, not even the Clintons. The behavior of his family, when he was brought in for questioning due to his father's ANSWER affiliation and after, made him a natural target for suspician as a potential enemy of the state, and naturally his return was delayed while he was investigated.

His family should have KNOWN their antics might endanger their son's life. Like all the idiots on the left, THEY think this is a GAME. This is NOT a game. It's serious. Literally, DEADLY serious. I doubt they'll ever realize that.

[Dog Gone]

I watched the video and I don't know whether I should have. I am in a state of shock. It is hard to comprehend how people could be so depraved.

At lesat it's frontline news on canadian networks:

I watched the video but did not watch all of it. I watched up to the point that they fully severed his head (after about 5 attempts). I did not need to see them hold up his head or defile his corpse by placing his own head in his hands.

when I watched it, I think the sound and image came out of synch so I heard his screams before his neck was attacked.

[Republican Red]

I know the father is a memeber of ANSWER and is already using his son's death to further his political beliefs.

However, the son and victim, Nick, was a supporter of President Bush.

**Berg's mother, Suzanne Berg, said her son was in Iraq to help rebuild communication antennas.

"He had this idea that he could help rebuild the infrastructure," she said.

Michael Berg described himself as fervently anti-war, but said his son disagreed with him.

"He was a Bush supporter," Berg said. "He looked at it as bringing democracy to a country that didn't have it."**

I love Neil Cavuto!

[saquin]

May I use this also?

Go right ahead.

[GOPyouth]

You can thank your friendly neighborhood Democrat or CBS (ghoul TV) for this death.

The people responsible for this death are the terrorists.... Not Senator Clinton, CBS, Col. Hackworth, or the others you have mentioned. You are in agreement with the argument the terrorists made on that video.

[kcat]

I know what you mean. Those people are evil. I mean from the devil evil. I do not want to let them get to me by making my heart more full of hate than love as I go about whatever I do today. That sounds so hokey. Believe me, I want them gone - today, right now, to smitherenes - but while they are being blown to bits I'll be thinking good over evil.

[Indie]

If it's real, kill em' all.

As a biker myself, you would be surprised how many CINOs on THIS website would disagree with OUR position on this. It is disgusting...apologists for the islamonazis on FR...but they exist...I get flamed by them quite often. I won't mention the usual suspects. I'll let them speak for themselves...the POSs.

Which is exactly what Americans did when Jane Fonda posed for pictures atop a North Vietnamese AA gun. Walter Cronkite reported it and then said, "And that's the way it is."

Then the announcer told you to stay tuned for "M*A*S*H".

My inclusion of Taguba was strictly a result of cut and paste from the thread to which I responded. If I had looked more closely I would have edited his name from the list of those whom I consider to be accessories after the fact.

[Peach]

I haven't been able to keep up with this story and a link on the thread to review the story behind him going to Iraq didn't work for me.

How did he end up being investigated by the FBI?
