How about this one --- Jameel Rashid, U.S. Coast Guard, Portsmouth, VA


Well, sailor. I guess it is time for me to call your commanding officer and see what he thinks about this.

Yes, that is the same Nick Berg.

So what was he doing in Iraq?

"...video posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant Web site appeared to show a group affiliated with al-Qaida beheading an American in Iraq, saying the death was revenge for the prisoner-abuse scandal."

Thank you, Col. David Hackworth.

A news release of the abuse scandal by the CENTCOM in January and an extensive AR 15-6 investigation by the U.S. Army was not good enough. The release of higly inflammatory photos to a worldwide audience had to be made for the sake of "the little guy".

What would we ever do without your selfless concern for "the little guy", Col. Hackworth? < / sarcasm>

Do you think you can get 60 Minutes to air the beheading tape and the explanation by the Islamic militants of the reason they gave for the beheading, Col. Hackworth?

For the sake of "the little guy".

West Chester contractor missing in Iraq
Posted by: Editor on Saturday, May 08, 2004 - 09:14 PM

The Associated Press

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Nick Berg was on his way out of Iraq. He had been released from the prison where he had been held for 13 days by Iraqi police for reasons he said he did not know. He had made his way from Mosul to his Baghdad hotel. He was finished with being an independent civilian contractor and was coming home to West Chester.

That was April 9. A month later, Berg's parents, Michael and Suzanne, still haven't heard from him. They've gone from concerned to frantic.

"Our hopes are that he's still in hiding or en route and traveling in a very slow manner," Michael Berg said.

A spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq who tracks the number of civilians missing in that country was unavailable for comment. But in mid-April, coalition spokesman Dan Senor said during a news briefing in Baghdad that about 40 people from 12 countries were missing and presumed hostages.

Nick Berg, 26, owns a business called Prometheus Methods Tower Service Inc. He climbs communications towers to inspect the antennas, the electrical connections and the structure. He first went to Iraq on Dec. 21.

He stayed until Feb. 1, making contact with a company that indicated there would likely be work for him later. But he returned on March 14 and there was no work, so he began traveling. He usually called home once a day and e-mailed several times; Michael Berg is his business manager, and they needed to stay in touch.

They spoke on March 24, and Nick Berg told his parents he was coming home on March 30. Then the communications stopped, and he wasn't on the plane on March 30.

When FBI agents arrived at the Berg's West Chester home on March 31, they were relieved to know their son was alive, but in jail. The agents questioned them about various details that only they and their son would know about.

Jerri Williams, spokeswoman for the Philadelphia FBI office, said the agency was "asked to interview the parents regarding Mr. Berg's purpose in Iraq."

On April 5, the Bergs filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that their son was being held illegally by the U.S. military in Iraq.

The next day, April 6, Nick Berg was released. He told his parents he had been riding in a taxi on March 24 when he was arrested by Iraqi officials at a checkpoint in Mosul. He told his parents he had not been mistreated.

Nick Berg said he would come home through Jordan, Turkey or Kuwait. But by then, hostilities in Iraq had escalated, and Michael Berg said they have not heard from their son since.

The Bergs have hounded the State Department, the FBI and the International Committee of the Red Cross, seeking information. Michael Berg said the State Department sent an official to Nick Berg's hotel, where an employee told the official they had not heard of him.

The Bergs hired a private investigator, who talked to an American hotel guest who said he remembered Nick Berg.

Sometimes, they tell themselves their son "is a resourceful fellow who can take care of himself," Michael Berg said.

"Other times we think perhaps he was dead on April 10," he said. "My worst fear is that I'll never hear anything."

Well they did it now! How can ANYONE say 1 f'n thing about mistreatment of the iraqi scumbags when they see this video. How long before we start to see this type of thing stateside? ROP my arse! They will always prove themselves to be the lowest form of life on this planet by their actions and we still try to understand their pain. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

[b4its2late]

Have they blamed Rummsfeld for this yet?

[MJM59]

I guess that all those apologies did not work. Isn't it time that we got back to the business of WINNING this WAR?

"Did you know that 2000 years ago, a Roman Citizen could walk across the face of the known world free of the fear of molestation. He could walk across the earth unharmed, cloaked only in the protection of the words 'civus romanus': I am a Roman citizen. So great was the retribution of Rome universally understood as certain, should any harm befall even one of its citizens ... Let the word ring forth from this time and this place. You kill an American, any American, we don’t come back with a proportional response, we come back with total disaster!”
- President Jed Bartlett, THE WEST WING

Sounds like a good policy to me.

[who knows what evil?]

Although FOX News Channel won't show this video; Shepard Smith just gave a 'blow-by-blow' description of what occurs on this video. Berg was NOT cleanly beheaded...Smith states that the savage weilding the knife had to saw back and forth five times before the head came loose. Just Smith's description of this execution has me heading for the barf bucket. Worse than Danny Pearl...much worse...

I wonder if Shep will have the cajones to repeat his description of this gruesome wideo during the 'dinner edition' of the news this evening at 7 EST?

These kind are not a part of "CIVILization"

The whiningLibs are responsible for this man's horrific death!

[fivecatsandadog]

So we tell you that the dignity of the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib and others is not redeemed except by blood and souls. You will not receive anything from us but coffins after coffins ... slaughtered in this way.”

Dignity?????? Did I miss something? These people don't even deserve to be called animals. They are lower than low.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews is back on Laci/Scott Peterson.

[Starve The Beast]

The Islamofascists play the Left like a fiddle. Liberals fell all over themselves wringing their hands and shedding alligator tears over the humiliation of some prisoners, and the terrorists saw an opportunity to exploit it.

Clearly, the Islamofascists are expecting the Left to universally blame Bush for this outrage. Unfortunately, I don't think Kennedy and Flipper will disappoint them.

BLOOD ON THE HANDS OF VIACOM!

BLOOD ON THE HANDS OF HACKWORTH!

BLOOD ON THE HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATS!

How many Americans will die as a result of their traitorous attempts to use these images as a political weapon?

[mrobison]

Will the terrorists apologize?

Will the Democrats put up as much of a holler about this as they did about prisoners wearing panties on their heads?

No. And, No.

Why?!

Because Democrats = Terrorists

[Keen-Minded]

I don't want the Congressman and the media punks to talk about the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse using the words atrocity, torture, inhumane, and that we brought the beheading of Michael Berg on ourselves. If they do, they are traders to our country.

We are dealing with savages and animals and we need to wake up! They will not stop until they have their Islamic way.

I want the press to show the video of this horrible beheading every time they show pictures of the prisoner abuse and let them try and explain why the prisoner abuse is so much worse.

I'm so upset and disgusted with their hyping the prisoner abuse story for ratings and political gain.

What excerpt it is blank!

Anyone notice it's 5/11?
