I knew there were server errors also. Just pulling your chain.
By the way, this poll doesn't imply that two wrongs make a right. You have to admit that there are varying degrees of poor behavior. Surely, you would agree that exceeding the speed limit was not equal to beheading someone. Why then can't the prison incidents be less offensive than the beheading?

Yes. You are not the only one. We're having quite a few internal errors. Hope the powers that be are aware of it.

In laymans terms,no outcome or further action is being discussed,an atrocity is an action,which action,in anyones opinion is worse.

I haven't seen the tape of this real atrocity, but my local radio station just said that before the terrorist killed Berg, they said it was in retaliation for the prisoner abuse. Is this true?

Just had a nice discussion with a co worker who said it was justified because of what "we" were doing..
To: Redcoat LI
well its an issue of cultural sensitivity don't you know? In islam it is permitted to behead the infidel, but not permitted to be seen nude. Try to see it from their perspective, you bigots!
To: cwb
It's what they said,but the fact that they also beheaded wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Perle long before the prisoner story broke makes that statement suspect.
Just another day at the office for the Islamofascist.
They are taking advantage of the recent media coverage.

with all due respect and my heartfelt condolences to the Family of Nick Berg - GET REAL PEOPLE!!
We don't need relativism!! What these scumbags did to Nick Berg is atrocious and I hope that we kill these evil b*stards soon. There is no need to compare this with other atrocities and determine which is "more" atrocious. What some of our soldiers did to some of the detainees in Iraq went too far and they need to be punished severely.
We are stooping to the levels of the democreeps when we engage in this type of argument. The barbarity of 9/11 does not justify abuses of prisoners. the abuse of prisoners does not justify despicable acts.
I am appalled that we would even entertain this notion here.

"two wrongs make a right."
No, but three lefts do. Sorry for the humor break in this message, but I couldn't resist.

foxnews.com has a piece of it but not the actual act. Will still turn your stomach. Just the thought.
To: Ron in Acreage
Democrats are now wondering how they can benefit politically from it.You have that right! The Dems will blame Bush for atrocities on both sides of the war.

The world Muslim community is going to apologize, right?
And call for the resignation of Bin Laden and everything?

I have to agree with you there. I would be willing to bet the the good senater from Mass will have nothing to say except that somehow President Bush engineered this whole thing.
All I can think now is:keep your powder dry. Their day is coming.

No one is attempting to justify or defend anything, put it in the context of the world wide media circus.
Where are the calls for an apology from Al Queda,will Osama apologise,will Zarqawi be forced to resign,are there commitees of terrorists being called to investigate this.

That pig whore on Err America is say our troops are murderers. That they are worse than Saddam. That our military is rounding up more innocent Iraqis and torturing them on a daily basis than Saddam did all year. Tokyo Rhodes is alive and well.
