I watched elements from all 3 networks broadcasts. What is clear is that the Islamofascists took advantage of the media hype to execute this man.

They had kidnapped him long before the abuse photos story broke.

Classic American guy - entrepreneurial, compassionate, active. He should be remembered for his devotion to American ideals in a savage world.

the Islamofascists made a mistake. They just reminded Americans why we might be mad enough to mistreat terrorists who landed in jail...

...by an al-Qaida-affiliated group...

I thought there was no connection between Iraq and al Qaida, at least that is what I have been told.

Sounds like the filthy animals killed a very fine and interesting young man. I envy the adventures he undertook. I just saw the video it is horrific and every station should show it. They don't give a damn about that young man. Leftists get lots of people killed.

Sounds like he was everything Rachel Corrie was not.

And Ceci Connelly is already trying to spin who he was and what he was doing in Iraq.

It helps to identify more background and is missing from some of the other articles.

He's been a captive. Why didn't we learn of his captivity earlier? Is it because "Americans captured by terrorists" (or "revolutionaries" as Michael Moore calls his new heroes) isn't newsworthy anymore?

If Michael Moore is so certain that these terrorists in Iraq are fighting a battle and deserve to win, then when will he step forward on their behalf to make way for the Red Cross to visit these civilian "prisoners".

The human rights issue cuts much worse on the Iraqi side. The double standard is sickening.

Do you know if Berg was Jewish? Was he targeted if he was?

A double curse from the Islamics: being American AND Jewish.

That's one for the media to answer.
