Then, referring to his son's executioners, he said: "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

Nothing like politicizing your son's death.

His son was there on his own accord. Bush had nothing to do with it.

Savage is right, liberalism is a mental illness.

This looks especially bad when you consider that the FBI warned Berg to leave Iraq, and now we learn that the US even offered to fly him out. He refused, and then was murdered.

What else would they have the gov't do?

"I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life," Berg said.

Then, referring to his son's executioners, he said: "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

So his father is saying his son was a supporter of islamic terrorists, and even an terrorist himself.

May be time to rethink any sorrow people are having for his loss.

Evidently not.

What an asshole... dancing on the corpse of his son to promote his own beliefs! His own son would have disagreed with him!

This is the sickest thing I have ever read. Michael Berg is NUTS. He exploits his own son's disgusting untimely vicious death to make his own political points. This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!

Yes. He was a speaker at one of their rallies as exposed on another thread.

It's probably a pretty heavy burden - they filed suit to get him released, and he was released into the arms of his murderers. There's probably some degree to which guilt is driving him crazy.

Assuming the story as we've gotten it is true, of course. It seriously doesn't add up, but I don't know what that means.

"They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

Ahhh I get it...perhaps his son was over there carrying out ANSWER's work. Not to disparage so soon, but was this another episode of "Anti-war Activist Meets Reality?"

He only saw the good in his captors? At what point? When they tied him up? When they captured him at gunpoint (or knifepoint, or whatever)? What a ridiculous statement.

That is what these kooks don't understand.

It doesn't matter if he was a terrorist supporter, a peacenik anti-war maggot or a proud patriotic American.

He was an AMERICAN. And that is why they slaughtered him. And they will slaughter all of us if we let them.
