Sigh.

I want to read some of his later emails, ones after and before his detention in there entirety. Seems to me from some of the snippets that Nick had a better understanding of his detention and the reasonings for it than what his parents believe.

"Nick died for the sins of the Bush administration"

Not surprisingly, the world socialist terrorist sympathizers who post on BBC feel this way. As if the act itself didn't make it heinous, just read what some of these "Americans" are doing to apologize for the enemy and bash their own country. Sickening. The left once again shows its true colors.

His dad (I know, a member of ANSWER?) is so misguided I don't know what to say.

Nick died because of insane, brainwashed, terrorists..who will never have value for human life. They are pure evil.

Nick was a pro-America adventure seeker. His memory is being defamed by his leftist father.

His father said "Nick died for the sins of the Bush administration"

I heard that Nick supported President Bush, while his father was anti-Bush. It's a shame the father used his son's death to push his own political agenda.

I haven't heard one word where he blames the terrorists for their barbaric torture and murder of his son.

Berg's father, Michael, who opposes the war in Iraq, said top U.S. officials created an environment of limited civil rights that led to the abuses at Abu Ghraib.

"Nick died for the sins of the Bush administration," Michael Berg said Wednesday in an interview with the AP.

I just pray Nick Berg doesn't turn out to be some kind of covert Rachel Corrie. He obviously comes from the same kind of family she did.

Our daughter Rachel, a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement in the Occupied Territories, died Sunday in the Gaza Strip while courageously trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home.

Time will tell, I guess.

The police collect me and take me off to the Lieutenant who is more worried for my safety than about me being an Iranian spy.

I think the Lieutenant got it right...

I agree..My heart breaks that he is using his good son's death in a way that his son did not agree with.

Some DUers are claiming that Berg wasn't killed by Muslim terrorists, but rather, he was killed by "Bush's Death Squad"

Why would someone think he was a Turk? Language is the first give away, so what caused him to learn Turkish well enough to pass?

He and his father were business partners. So with dad being a spokesperson for ANSWER, why did he agree for Nick to go traipsing around a war zone by himself to further their business venture?

I sincerely want to condemn the terrorists who killed Berg, but I will admit that his father's comments are giving me pause. What in the hell would make a father use his son's horrendous death to promote his political agenda?

It is funny that leftists who spit on the administration and protest the war effort would go out and profit from imperialism. See, leftists are all full of crap, right to the core.
