He said he planned to march on the Pentagon with the group, which is calling for Bush to bring the troops home now, on June 5.

A great way to celebrate his son's life, a day with the Islamist and leftist dregs of the USA.

I stand in horrified astonishment that after 9/11, there are still some people who think that we can reason with these people ... I don't believe there's a ghost of a chance and I think we're in for a very long haul ...

I shudder to think how bad it will get before America really wakes up to what this problem is ... it's huge ... and it does not bode well for the future given their deeds ...

The stories I have read say that the family had been informed of Nick's death and that he had been decapitated but they didn't want that to be public knowledge. However, some ghoul in the media informed them of the existence of the video. I am assuming that this occurred out in the yard and would explain why the family was outside during the scenes you describe. Apparently, and understandably, the family collapsed to the ground in grief and horror on learning that now the world would not only know but would see the way that Nick died.

Personally, I find it despicable that the media would have been that callous ... and then would take photos/footage of the grief. What vultures they are!!!!!

Ironic to see Michael Berg providing propaganda and encouragment to the savages who beheaded his son.

Sad, but unfortunatly, not surprising.

What I do blame them for is detaining him for 13 days without due process.

Since it was in the middle of a war zone in a foreign country, they probably didn't Mirandize him either. The horror.

This stupid SOB got his kid killed by filing a lawsuit against the USA for protecting his son. The military had to cut him lose. Way to go Dad!

Al Qaida knew right where to find him, probably shadowed him for a couple of days until he got out in the open. There is a taxi driver somewhere who knows where and when.

Bill Schneider, a CNN political analyst, said it's clear that both liberals and conservatives are trying to use Nick Berg's gruesome death to advance their causes.

"The Right seized upon his terrible death to try to reverse the momentum of horror over prisoners being abused," he said. "They immediately seized upon that to say, `You see. These are the people we're dealing with.'

"And now the Left is trying to say he was arrested because he was harassed because of his father's anti-war ideologies," he said.

The difference that CNN is missing (of course) is that what they attribute to the right is correct, the beheading DOES show what sort of people we're dealing with. Whereas the left's theory of lists from FR being circulated in Iraq to target the children of people on the list is absurd tin foil delusions.

Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death.

That's it, I am officially sick of this man and his stupidity. I could say I think the terrorists got ahold of the wrong Berg, but I won't.

Maybe Nick Berg left the country and went all around the world to get away from his father!

I wouldn't blame him one bit. The father is a raging lunatic. How can he not blame the terrorists for his son's horrific death? I feel sorry for Nick Berg to have had such a psycopath for a father.

One purely speculative theory of mine is this:
Berg was in Iraq with the comm tower non-job for cover-for-action to travel around odd places.

His real mission was to act as a messenger, trying to become a go-between from Int'l A.N.S.W.E.R. to Al Queda. I mean, ANSWER can't exactly just pick up a phone to call Al Queda. To communicate with them, you have to GO to where they ARE, and fish around dropping hints, until you're picked up.

That's when you tell them the glorious news: you have come from a group "allied in the struggle against the Western imperialists" yadda yadda. You have a message, and an offer to coordinate activities, or perhaps hints on how to tweak their operations for the best effect, IOW, what and when to pull an operation which will result in the defeat of George W. Bush in November.

You expect to be treated fairly well, perhaps roughed up like the fake Japanese hostages/peace activists. After all, you can't talk to Al Queda, and just walk away like nothing happened.

But they saw the Jewish name Berg, and the Israeli passport stamp, and that trumped his ANSWER credentials. When the AG Prison scandal hit the papers.... Nick went on to serve a higher Al Queda purpose: human sacrifice on film.

That's why Daddy Berg (Mr. ANSWER) said "They killed their best friend."

The above is pure speculation on my part.

A.N.S.W.E.R?

Let's give 'em the S.O.L.U.T.I.ON.

Stop Old Liberals Underwriting Terrorism, Islamists, Osama and Neo-Communists.

Better men than I are risking life and limb to preserve freedom in God forsaken third world cesspools. At the same time, people who are not fit to lick my boots are trying to tear The Republic apart for self serving reasons.

Damn! I think I see a problem here.

Boy, if I was Nick Berg, I'd be ashamed of my sorry assed father about now. I just had my head sawed off by islamic pagan bastards, and your blaming President Bush.

At least now you can only disgrace yourself and not me.

I hope we don't have something on a similar scale to 9/11 again, or God forbid, worse ... but with all the money they are spending, pardoning those who sell nuclear technology, and the U.N. backing every terror-state on the globe, I have only wonder as to how much time have we got until the next "big one" ... one thing's for sure, appeasement does not work ... never has, never will ...

Bush should demand answers from Berg. Just what were these people up to? Coincidences do occur, but they're extremely rare.

It is a shame and our nation should take retribution on his killers,

Absolutely. I don't want these animals to get prison time, I want them to receive death. Of course we would be more humane than to behead them, but as long as they're dead I'll be satisfied. The savages that murdered Nick Berg are an evil that need to be wiped off the face of the earth.
