"Nick died for the sins of the Bush administration"

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.

Thought you might want to check this out.. {{{sigh}}}

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.

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.

Who is Steve Emerson?

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...

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?

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?

Another BS AP story.

The best and brightest of humans can still have a moron for a parent... RIP Nick Berg.

With all respect to his tormented family, who have a right to their grief and anger, Nick Berg is an American hero of the highest order, and history will accept him as such. A man who offered his can-do skills to BUILD things in this broken country liberated by his government, a man who was willing to see the hope in what many of us would write off as a hopeless culture, and a Jewish man who was willing to take the risks of traveling to a war zone where the enemy is one who hates Americans only slightly less than they hate Jews.

What was he thinking? He was thinking that life is an adventure and for doing good, productive things, and not for living in fear. The scum who killed him believe in death and murder and in having their sexual lust satisfied by their "god" in the afterlife. Actually, they're not even sure about all that, since the cowardly bastards wore masks to keep themselves anonymous and safe.

While Nick Berg has offered a clear contrast with the Abu Ghraib numbskulls, and has showed us all too poignantly the best of America that otherwise never gets noticed - still, it would be much better for us if he were still alive and doing his honest and hopeful work.

"Berg also mentions meeting a brother of an uncle by marriage. Michael Berg said that his sister, who is now
deceased, married an Iraqi man who lives near Baghdad."

A small world, apparently. Was this family connection a factor in why Berg was over there?

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

POS. Glad you were denied viewing, Michael, you leftist moron.
