CBS isn't to blame for the pictures, the soldiers are to blame for the pictures.

CBS isn't the only one running images. The Daily Mirror ran FAKE photos of British soldiers urinating on prisoners and the arab press ran front page photos that came from porn sites.

The arab world has seen more images (many fake) that Americans have not seen. I'll blame the media for this.

You must be in a dream world if you think that CBS aired these pictures for anything more than ratings and MONEY. They could care less about lives that will be lost - that just boosts their ratings more. Like I said. The men that committed the crime are going to answer for the crime. What about the participation of CBS? You actually believe in a time of war that the media should have unbridled freedom to put anything they get their hands on in front of the world? That is treason and anyone who says that CBS is not to blame for this mans beheading is living in wonderland.

You said: CBS isn't to blame for the pictures, the soldiers are to blame for the pictures.

I have to disagree. CBS is not responsible for the taking of the pictures, but they, and other media, elected to SHOW them. This was an editorial decision, and it has had murderous consequences. The media cannot deny their part in the gruesome death of Nick Berg. Their publication and continued placing of these images "above the fold" directly contributed to the death of this young man. CBS and others knowingly or recklessly caused a death. It cannot be denied.

CBS is to blame for trying to say this was wide-spread and sanctioned behavior.

I'll blame the terrorists for this horrific act, but I'll not sit by and see the media who stirred up and misrepresented a story given a pass for doing so.
