This is the first time I have seen the Nick Berg video, and I must say, I am more disturbed now than I was before. When I envisioned the beheading, I pictured the Hannibal-era types with a long sword and one quick, clean swipe. This was just inhumane, and completely barbaric. You wanna talk about abuse and torture! They claim that this was retaliation for the so-called prisoner abuse in Abu-Graib, I think this a reason why the prisoners should be abused. When you see the way our American civilians have been treated over there (Nick Berg, and the contractors who were savagely murdered and drug through the streets before being hung from a bridge), it's easy to understand how our soldiers can get caught up in the passion and possibly "abuse" a few prisoners. I believe Spc. Sivits' penalty was way too harsh. I think a reduction in rank and possible general discharge would be more than enough punishment. 1 year in prison and a dishonorable discharge will ruin this kid forever. I've seen a lot of the "abuse" pictures, and it's merely humiliation they are putting these prisoners through, not torture or abuse. Here's the point-PLAIN AND SIMPLE-Those animals broke the rules first, and how can one team play fair and expect to win when the other breaks the rules? Once the rules have been broken, all bets are off!
