I understand that, but that seems to assume there is none now. There is non stop violence against our troops as it stands - otherwise the WOT would be won.

Recall that the terrorists claimed they killed Nick Berg because of the offense of the Abu Ghraib photos (which were not previously seen by the public, for a case which was already under CRIMINAL PROSECUTION of the perps, one of whom leaked the photos because he didn’t get the plea bargain his uncle tried to negotiate).
Except the timeline of events is that Nick Berg was kidnapped nearly a month before his murder. They held him. He was becoming a liability after a Haliburton employee (also kidnapped awhile) escaped and informed details of how/where he was being kept. The Abu Ghraib news broke, the media blew it out of proportion and called it worse than the most horrific Nazi attrocity (thank Disney-ESPN funded Hunter S. Thompson for that one). A few days later Berg was killed.
They will play up the “motive” to the press, but they will kill regardless. Anyone recall any of the “reasons” the other kidnap victims were killed?
