CNN's morning news at 7:30 PDT spoke of the so-called prisoner abuse in Iraq but made no mention of Nick Berg-his horrific murder is now apparently 'old news'. Expect a general media 'blackout' on this story in the next day or two.

The beheading story is already barely appearing in the European press that I have scanned, but the "horrific US military prison abuses" story is front and center.

That's obviously how it's going to be handled. Just let it go away; after all, we've forgotten 9/11, Daniel Pearl, the 4 contractors in Fallujah, etc. easily enough, so there's no reason we shouldn't forget this one, too.

I just found out my father had worker with him--he took a safety construction course with Mr. Berg--my mom has a few letters mentioning him at a certification thing for construction.

I still want to know--and of CORSE NOT putting aside what the soldiers may have or not done--

but--the terrorist don't NEED an excuse to kill any "Un-Believer there" anyhow right--

but they blame this is for the abuses from the pictures.

weren't those photos STOLEN??

and , wasn't CBS and the press TOLD ( what I am sure they KNEW) about the CONSEQUENCES of showing these photos in the first place,?

At my High School-- everyone said that showing the pictures was like showing a photo of Kobe Brian hitting a wall or something on a bad day--it was just a thing that happened once--and releasing it could only do bad.

I believe in free press--but, since the story was never covered right in the first place--I kind of doubt the agenda that it is "news" behind it.

The media blackout will not matter. This seed has been planted.

All the Media's Horsemen and all the Media's Men could not, did not and shall not drag the court of public opinion to the point of "outrage" over the prison story. The public has shrugged, chuckled privately, and whispered an "atta'boy" over the "abuse" of murderous prisoners in Iraq.

The gross act of beheading an innocent American will remain in the minds of the public. It won't go away just because of a lack of media attention.

Like I said to a friend about the prison story last week, the terrorist have something for the liberals to exploit, and they will, but just wait a few days and the Islam Idiots will screw it up for themselves and the liberals holding their hands. And sure'nuff!

We have a different war at home also. If we do not defeat these self serving liberals at home we are bound to fail.
