The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit similar to a prisoners uniform who identified himself as Nick Berg, a U.S. contractor whose body was found on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday.
My name is Nick Berg, my fathers name is Michael, my mothers name is Susan, the man said on the video. I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in ... Philadelphia.
After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and putting a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head off, shouting Allahu Akbar! God is great. They then held the head out before the camera.
Berg was a small-business owner from the Philadelphia suburbs, his family said Tuesday.

I'm hoping the families of the victims will start demanding that this be shown on American television.

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. If there is an arabic word for diginity it's a waste of letters. There is no need for the word.

I surmise Hackworth is happy with his going to CBS and starting this whole mess.

I just heard a report on FOX NEWS and one word used for the description of the video that he witnessed was 'degrading', I had to turn FOX NEWS off........first they use the word TORTURE to describe the degradation in the prison, now they use the word degradation to describe a BEHEADING. We have got to start taking the WOT seriously, VERY seriously and stop castigating ourselves.

The media is just as responsible for this as are the people wielding the knife.

60 Minutes and the Democrats aid and abet our enemy - true. They are anti-American and should be publicly whipped as far as I'm concerned.
However, they did not commit the crime, these animals did. Just another reason we should publicize this as much as possible to remind people who our enemy is, and he is horrific.

You are right. The DEMONcrats hate President Bush. They will do anything to make this war a failure.

Big mistake by AQrats. If they think this will make U.S. public want to cut and run they are misunderestimating us. Most will see this as a reason that we have to do more exterminating, more than ever.

USA will just apoligise again. I hoped we wouldn't start that kind of garbage.

Aside from everything else that is despicable about this whole business, one of my first reactions was that I'd rather be a prisoner of the U.S. than of the Iraqis. Our people may get out of hand and play games with terrorists, but their people cut off the heads of innocent people.
CBS, the rest of the media, and the Democrats are all responsible for this. They wouldn't be playing these games if they didn't know they would have an impact on our own fifth columnists.

It's time to assasinate 100 Iraqi prisoners (we have plenty of murderers in custody to serve this purpose) for every American hostage killed. This is not our way. Lets not give fodder to those who believe that this is the way our country behaves. I know how you must feel, but we are better than this.

And the limp wristed, weak kneed people of America scream about a naked prisoner who was trying to kill you. Somewhat of a double standard isn't it.

The story is in the mainstream media now. I think though that the media message is that we deserve it and much more for being unkind to the poor, poor oppressed muslims.
We are being laughed at by the the rest of the world.
When the next big attack comes here to the U.S., will the media clamor for the heads of the attackers? I think not.
