That's nothing. Here's the latest:
Did Freepers Kill Nick Berg?
Why We're Not Ruling It Out
By Tamara Baker
May 12, 2004 -- SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA (apj.us) -- By now, we've all heard the story.
A group claiming affiliation with Al Qaeda captured an American named Nick Berg, who had been looking for contract work in Iraq.
They then videotaped his beheading, claiming that it was revenge for the sickening torture of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib and other US-run prisons.
As it turns out, our military intelligence officers in Iraq have told the Red Cross that between 70 and 90 percent of the persons in Iraqi jails were arrested "by mistake", and so are being tortured "by mistake".
Furthermore, only 600 out of the 43,000 persons arrested during the US occupation (that's 1.4%) have been referred to authorities for prosecution. The vast majority of the others are condemned to wait without hope of trial (much less release), and most of them have committed no crimes whatsoever.
Considering that right-wingers among us called for nuking Falluja over the deaths of four privateers a few weeks ago, I'm frankly amazed by the Iraqis' comparative restraint.
And speaking of right-wingers and Nick Berg -- guess what?
They just might be responsible for his death.
Here's the scoop:

Just when I think I can't be surprised,

I read this article earlier and sent the editor a letter. Like that will make a difference.
How disgusting this article is. I was so upset after reading this garbage. They are exploiting this man and his torturous murder to take their own political pot shots at this website. I never learn that many liberals will attempt to take advantage of the most horrible situations and never draw a line. I guess, I'm still hoping there is some small shred of decency left in these people. My hope is futile.

Whole new chapters are being written in the book on "liberal guilt". Formerly they would have blamed America's abuse for the murder, now they just blame those who said this is what rampant political unrest in America over the war would lead to.
