Forget Abu Ghraib: Those are the words I've heard most often since the tape of militant Islamists cutting off Berg's head was made public Tuesday - though the first word was seldom forget.

The news media will NEVER show those images, because it might inflame our anger at the islamists, with whom they identify.

This is not "about" what we are "fighting for"

The alphabet news do not want us to have so clear an understanding of this war.
