May 12, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - A young American contractor in Iraq was mercilessly beheaded by Islamic terrorists on a horrifying videotape released yesterday as so-called revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners.

"would it be out of the question to use a female GI to humiliate him into a confession?"

That's not what I would do. Despite what they say, these guys are animals. That's why they make their women cover up from head to toe -they can't control their hormonal urges.

My choice would be to use some slow, painful torture to get it out of him.

Maybe, in any case, they don't have saddam's deep pockets. They will run out of money soon.

Some will flow in from the Middle East from other kingdoms. Some see it in their interest to keep this going, maybe even Russia or China.

Were it up to me, there would not be a single American or ally in the area by the weekend. Then, there would be a massive crater where Iraq is. In a few years, it would make a nice resort with a big lake.

One or two planes= instant peace in area.
I would make every effort to save all the dogs we could get out. I love dogs.
No since wasting valuable, decent lives.

Berg's father filed suit in federal court in PA to have him released. He was released the next day. AlQaeda was probably waiting at the hotel for him.

Michael Berg has his son's blood on HIS hands if the above is the case. Nick may have asked for his father's help, though.
