Which of these is the REAL Nick Berg?
And why was the guy in the video dressed in prison orange like Susan McDougall?

[Howlin]

It's true; doug from upland posted his remarks back in March!!!!

Doug, do you have the link?

[justanotherday]

I think I've touched more than a nerve...

[Howlin]

Gav, I don't actually *think* anything anymore. I can't make reason out of any of this.

[Howlin]

Now, don't make me laugh; I'm in a foul mood; don't try to spoil it with fun!

[Jorge]

Parents who have just lost a son will often say anything in their time of grief.
I have to take their blaming anyone other than those who murdered their son, with a grain of salt at this point.

I am sick today. The execution and my rage at the liberals who caused it is becoming visceral. Im turning of the news and the PC and going to bed. Tomorrow Im going to start an email and fax campaign to every liberal and liberal entity who I blame for the poor morale in America, in Iraq, and the for execution of Nick Berg. It will be a campaign to express my disgust and revulsion at their willingness to sacrifice Americans, just to get the White House back. It has been an awful week..

[Howlin]

I understand what you're saying, Jorge, but nowhere have I been able to find one word where they lashed out at the actual people who murdered him.

[Burkeman1]

And this poor kid's death will always be available for anyone to view online. I just saw photos of his execution from a link on this site and feel guilty about looking at them. Imagine the feelings of the family?

[Nix 2]

I don't think it's him.

[Howlin]

We should all do that.

And I think we all are sick today....sick of this crap.

"That's really what cost my son his life, the fact that the United States government saw fit to keep him in custody for 13 days without any of his due process or civil rights," Mr Berg said.

I smell LAW$UIT!

KA-CHINGGG!!

[Jank]

The parents will be on CBS in the morning, with Ted Kennedy.

[Cvengr]

Since he was being held prior to the parent's lawsuit, by reasoning similar to their reasoning, had they not filed the lawsuit, their son would probably have been alive today.

[Jank]

Yeah, they probably work for the Kerry campaign.

[doug from upland]

HERE IS THE ENEMY -- they have posted their names

Is this the dad --- Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc., West Chester, PA

[Jank]

My brother was an Army Airborne Ranger, and he has a saying,
"What is a civilian, in a war zone? IN THE WAY!"

[wai-ming]

"That's really what cost my son his life, the fact that the United States government saw fit to keep him in custody for 13 days without any of his due process or civil rights,"

What in the world is he talking about?

The U.S. government held him in custody and is thus responsible for his death at the hands of the Iraqis?

I'm sorry for the death of your son, but it was Islamic extremists, not the U.S. who murdered him.

[Howlin]

I'm sorry?
