The story on the CBS News website concerning the beheading of this poor soul actual says this:

There was no way to be certain the tape was authentic.

The media is unbelievable!

If CBS carries the story, they will spin it to make it all Bush's/USA's fault.

The email I sent to CBS said something to the effect of "I hope you're proud of yourselves. The hype you started as a game has caused a death.

"You know as well as I do that they murdered 3,128 people on 9/11/01 and many others afterward (remember Daniel Pearl?) so the prison abuse had nothing to do with Berg's murder.

However, you know as well as I do that you'll purposely spin this as being somehow our fault for not being nice, just as after 9/11 we were told it was our fault because some of our ancestors weren't nice to the native Americans.

"CBS makes me sick."

I doubt anyone there will read it.

The American taxpayers will re-build the mosque. Count on it.

Wouldn't using tax payer dollars to rebuilt a mosque be a violation of the alleged seperation of church and state?

Well... First, they have to do an EnvironMental Impact Report based on several expensive "Studies!"

After all... EnvironMentalism is an organized religious experience and belief system that is rife in our government in all of it's many and varied levels!!!

Gee we destroyed a Mosque..That's as unIslamic as hanging dead burned and dismembered bodies up on a bridge.
The beheaders cried Allah Ahkbar in the film clip I hear.

Until the people get the idea that Mosques are not untouchable fortresses, they will allow them to be occupied.

Just watched CBS. They showed the video up til he had the sword at his throad lying on the ground. Then they froze it and let the audio run.

Revenge may be best served cold, but retribution is delicious as it sizzles fresh off the grill.

Just had to repeat that.

Please let it be a king-sized T-Bone cross hatched perfectly with red hot grill marks with juice dripping from all sides ----- Better yet, make it a big ol' butterfly pork chop big enough to feed a whole g**damned naked pyramid of those murdering, terrorist %$(*&&***'s.

I just had a very pleasant conversation with a lady at CBS. She told me CBS would not be showing the video, that it was not her decision, that she had seen it and it was too gruesome to show on TV. She said that she understood my position.

I politely conveyed to her my belief that it should be shown, and added that if it had been a video of a US soldier beheading an Iraqi prisoner, I have no doubt CBS would be running it 24/7.

I asked her to relay my sentiments to the powers that be at CBS. She told me all calls on the issue are being logged, and that there are a lot of calls. BTW, she wasn't a receptionist -- she is a unit manager (whatever that is). Said she was just helping out with the phones.

Since she is not the decision-maker, I didn't see a need to become strident with her. She thanked me for the call, and I thanked her for her time.

What I've noticed about all this Holy Revered Sacred This and That stuff is that it seems to be a one way reverence. We can't attack during the Holy Festival of Ramadan or the "Middle East Experts" have a fit. But they can attack us with impugnity. We can't wax a mosque, but they can kill us by firing out.

Any building can be rebuilt. Hopefully we are getting rid of some of this PC malarky.

"Just watched CBS. They showed the video up til he had the sword at his throad lying on the ground. Then they froze it and let the audio run."

I'm surprised. That's exactly the what I just said the video should be played. And CBS, no less. They're not excused for getting him killed in the first place. Trying to pull a "fair and balanced" now isn't atonement. It's CYA.
