Great news! Sky still not offering any details, I see.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Make John Kerry translate it. He'd prolly choke.

[MEG33]

Great thinking ..

[LikeLight]

And suddenly, it seems we're on a nice little roll here . . . WMD found . . . Berg Murderers busted . . . what's next?

[Dr Snide]

I think the French translation indicates that four men were arrested for the execution of Nick Berg and that a representative of the French Goverment surrendered to them.

Let us start dulling our knives.

As they sowed, let them reap.

As they sawed. let them reap.

FOUR people have been arrested over the beheading of US businessman Nicholas Berg, whose decapitated body was found 10 days ago in Baghdad, senior Iraqi sources said today.

You're right----the age of interrogation is over. Can we at least let our questioners wear pig masks as they politely ask the Al Qaeda operatives to please tell us what we want to know?

[Lee'sGhost]

Thanks. Of course the reason I pose the question is bec I would bet that the guy who did it is the missing perp.

He's the baddest bad guy and I hope to heaven he WAS captured -- but that would go against just about everything that has transpired for us so far.

Hope I'm wrong.

[TomGuy]

Still not reported on the Internet news sites, yet.

[1Old Pro]

OH PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE tell me one was al-Zarquai!!!

ditto that.

[Eurotwit]

According to the original french wire it said:

"oui, four video personnes"

Which I would guess indicate that the people arrested where from the video....

[TheBattman]

Nah. Stake 'em out on a street in Baghdad and have a parade: drive tanks and tracks and and trucks over 'em until there is nothing but a thin paste, then wash it into the sewer.

Nahhh...the first part sounds good - but scrape up the leavings and feed to the pigs...

[Atlantic Friend]

With great pleasure. The wire says :

Four persons, linked to the assassination of businessman Nicholas Berg whose body was discovered in Baghdad ten days ago, have been arrested, according to a high-placed source. When asked whether more than one person was arrested following the murder, this source said "yes, four people".

The video that showed the 26-year old young businessman being decapitated by a masked man saying he was doing this to avenge the abuse of the Iraqi prisoners, has been broadcast via an Internet site. "We have progressed much", declared the aforesaid source when asked about the investigation that followed the assassination.

[TomGuy]

Foxnews is talking about the death of actor Tony Randall.

Make sure those lobsters are live, in tanks of cold water,

Well duh. I wouldn't eat a lobster that was dead before cooking!

[azhenfud]

"How about we make a training video of what not to do to terrorists."

How about one of, "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Prison Abuse - Instances to Avoid, Somewhat"

[papertyger]

I would expect them to be taken out of the country, perhaps to Gitmo or to one of the other detention facilities

Not unless they're segregated from general population. They would provide too much of a morale boost for the rest of the prisoners.
