Yea, well, I'm unsure about that. The 4 civillians who were killed in Fallujah were beaten and murdered mercilessly, and that was weeks before any of this.

So maybe the manner that Berg died was impacted by this incident, but the fact that he died (the idea that 'but for the pictures being publicized, Berg would be alive today') is dubuious, can't be proven, and inconsistent with similar murders that happened independent of the humiliation photos scandal.

Notice the islamics didn't do the same to the Japanese "tourists" held a while ago then released

That makes sense, except that the stated reason for the beheading of Mr. Berg was the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners. That mistreatment took place in January 2004, at the latest. It was the media trumpeting of it in the last 2 weeks that resulted in his recent death. Might Berg have died anyway? Perhaps. Did the media virtually assure his death? Probably.
