PHILADELPHIA, May 13 (Reuters) - The father of Nick Berg, the Pennsylvania contractor beheaded in Iraq, on Thursday directly blamed President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his son's death. "My son died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. This administration did this," Berg said in the interview with radio station KYW-AM. Two days after the publication of a video showing the execution of his son by five masked men, Berg attacked Bush administration for its invasion of Iraq and its sponsorship of the Patriot Act, which gave increased powers of surveillance to the federal government.
Berg described the Patriot Act as a "coup d'etat." He added: "It's not the same America I grew up in."
This reminds me of the Wellstone funerally mentality. If that had been my kid who had been brutally butchered there is no way in hell I would be able to function enough to be talking to the press and making coherent political speeches/statements.

Just goes to show how deeply ingrained the hatred of Bush, etc... is with these people. The venom spews out even when they are on auto-pilot.

Was it not the father that said the son was a Bush supporter?
Or did he just call C-SPAN on the Republican line?
I'd wager that daddy will speak at the D convention.
Something is very wrong here.

I am convinced that there is a very huge and very dark piece of this story that has not been made public yet!

Definitely another crocodile-tear Wellstone funeral rally about to happen. "My son is dead...so vote for Kerry!"
