MSNBC: Nick Berg "Paid With His Life" For Prisoner Abuse

MSNBC | 5/12/04

[Williams]

MSNBC reporter Brooke Hart just included Nick Berg in the story on whether Secretary Rumsfeld should lose his job over the prisoner scandal. She said that while that issue is decided, "an American contractor appears to have paid with his life" for the prisoner abuse. Also, because she acknowledged that former media hero Gen. Taguba said responsibility did not rise above the brigade level, we didn't hear his testimony. Instead we heard Sen. Carl Levin stating, against all evidence, that this was a "deliberate, purposeful" policy to use these techniques.

Incredible and disgusting. I guess MSNBC has decided that Al Queda beheadings are now a recognized part of the left wing "justice system." So Nick Berg paid the price for Rumsfeld's torture of prisoners.

I wonder if people think its an exaggeration when I say the liberals are perfectly willing to have Americans killed to achieve the left wing agenda.

Not all of them, but I think it's about time we start considering many of them as active traitors in our midst. And I mean in an official capacity. And for any Leftists who scream and cry about "rights" and "free speech", I suggest they shut the ____ up and read the history of the man they slobber over - FDR.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

They killed Berg because they're bloodthirsty thugs, not because some soldiers took some dirty pictures. These guys know how to play our media like a fiddle.

MSNBC...one of many domestic components of "Enemies both foreign and ...."
imo

Lying Liberal Media - Nick Berg did not die for "American prisoner abuse." He died because he was abducted by barbarians. Note the MSNBC-types do not say much about the "abuse" of Daniel Pearl or the Americans who were beaten, burned, and dragged through the middle east on camera, along side the savages cheering about it in the streets. And that happened long before the "abuse" exposes came out by the media.

It is obvious that the media has no idea what "abuse" really is. Photographing someone with a pair of panties on his head is a far cry from the murders, mutilations, and decapitation that occured long before that 60 minute expose against our American soldiers who were trying to get information from murderous suicidal jihad TERRORISTS.

Our president once said that "if you are not for us, you are against us." Perhaps CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and a host of media pundits should be put on his list of those who "are against us." Their election year spin does nothing but continue to place Americans in harms way on a global basis in order to further a democratic political agenda.

"What was their excuse before this?"

The excuse before this was that we support Israel.

Kennedy getting up their blabbering on and on about prison atrocity's

Kennedy really needs to explain how he's superior to those military guards who did not drown the prisoners of war --- his pregnant lover didn't get off so easily.

[CaptRon]

That old fool Sam Donaldson was on the radio this morning (Curtis and Kuby, WABC, NY) parsing General Taguba's testimony and, by astutely reading between the lines, came to the conclusion that the guards were carrying out orders from the top.

There.
Accuracy is crucial in a free society.

Nick Berg paid with his life because he is an infidel, and the terrorists have determined that all infidels will die.

That's why we must win this war.

[Williams]

Actually, an "American Moslem" caller to Philadelphia talk radio yesterday said the beheading was justified because "look at what this country did to the native Americans." Another caller said the Americans brought it on themselves by being in Iraq.

"I read a post on a thread last night that Berg has been dead for some time and his killers were just waiting for some *cause* to blame his death on....anybody hear this in the media?"


I first heard essentially the same thing on Michael Savage last night; Berg had already been killed (in April, I believe) before the prison stuff was revealed last week. The killers just used this as an excuse, and that's why the video (which had already been made) was released yesterday.

Anything to paint the U.S. as corrupt and deserving of any retaliation from Muslim extremists.

I'm fed up with these news orgs and their spin/propoganda.

[bondjamesbond]

And Danny Pearl paid with his life for being a Jew.

And 3000 people paid with their lives on 9/11 for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And Leon Klinghoffer paid with his life for being in a wheelchair.

I could go on like this all day...

[magua]

why are you watching cbs? are you helping their ratings?

[Sam's Army]

I can believe it.

Any excuse will apparently do for these folks.

[Piquaboy]

A man with no conscience does not have a long memory and needs to be reminded of the atrocity he committed along with all the other stuffed shirts that agree with him. Kerry must be real proud to have this fat slob for his main supporter.

[Clara Lou]

Somebody ask this blooming idiot (understatement, I know) if treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib (spelling) was the reason for the private American contractors being burned alive and then hung from a bridge. Unless his IQ is zero, his answer is "no." So, how does he explain their deaths? I would answer "joy in the act of heinous murder." These murderers need to be wiped from the face of the earth, no trial, no nothing. Exterminated-- along with every other Islamic terrorist.

Man, you spoke the truth there if it is never told again.

[AmericanChef]

YOU - the MEDIA - killed that man by publishing all the information our enemies could use against us! That gal who originally leaked the photos - traitor!!
