Witch hunts. Red-baiting. McCarthyism. Inquisition. Since the passing of the Patriot Act, the emergence of an enigmatic no-fly list and the galvanizing push to wage war on Iraq, critics have used the above terms to characterize the pro-war camp and its supporting press, both of which were seen as recklessly and manipulatively branding all dissenters as unpatriotic, and sometimes treasonous and traitorous as well. "100,000 march to give comfort and aid to Saddam," read one headline following the first large anti-war protest in the capital. Untold however, was the ironic story of a similar struggle within the anti-war camp, where...

Wow!

Well the Nick Berg slaughter is getting curious. We find out he met Moussoui at OU, by chance, or was it? He had a copy of the Koran and an anti-semitic book. He was growing a islamist type of beard.He has a muslim relative in Mosul. He was also a technological genius. And when you notice in the video he doesnt seemed to care so much about his fate, as if maybe in his mind the video is rigged and he will just simply get up and go home after it. His father is acting weird to. He tells the...

Michael Berg lashed out at President George W. Bush and his administration during his first public comments since his son, Nick Berg, was murdered by al-Qaida terrorists. "Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," Michael Berg said. "The al-Qaida people are probably just as bad as they are, but this administration did this." The 20-minute, impromptu briefing took place outside the family’s home on the 1200 block of Estate Drive, West Whiteland, on Thursday morning. "This is an administration that allows something that they arrogantly called the Patriot Act to strip away America, to make...

First off, I'll get the obligatory stuff out of the way: the videotaped beheading of 26-year-old American Nicholas Berg, now believed to have been done by al-Qaida linked terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is truly horrifying and an outrage. It confirms that we must continue to fight the War On Terror using maximum force in any place necessary to ensure that these refugees from the Middle Ages are totally defeated. Certainly Nicholas Berg is as innocent a victim of extreme Muslim atrocities as the 3,000 Americans killed on September 11, 2001, or the victims from the March 11, 2004, Madrid train...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The independent businessman who was beheaded in Iraq wrote colorful e-mails to family and friends at home, foreign dispatches that showed a 26-year-old with limited Arabic skills traveling solo through dangerous parts of the country. The January e-mails, in what now seem to be chilling references, also describe Nicholas Berg's work near the Abu Ghraib prison — "a notorious prison for Army and political prisoners," he wrote — and his brief detention by Iraqi police. His killers cited the abuse of prisoners by U.S. personnel at Abu Ghraib as the reason for Berg's killing. The abuse was...

This is a reminder to those who may have forgotten about the massive million in the streets event that is planned by the left during the Republican national convention. This massive march will take place August 29th, the Sunday that begins the convention week. We've talked about this in the past, about a month or two ago, but its getting closer. How many of you are planning on attending. We currently have 7 chapters of the Protest Warriors signed up and we're looking for more help.

Parents blame Bush for son's execution By Joshua Chaffin in Washington Published: May 12 2004 5:00 | Last Updated: May 12 2004 5:00 Parents of a UScontractor executed by Islamic militants in Iraq are blaming the Bush administration for his death, saying that US authorities had contributed to the tragedy by unlawfully detaining their son for nearly two weeks before his disappearance. Michael Berg claimed yesterday that his son, Nick, was held by US authorities without access to a telephone or lawyer because of suspicions that he was an insurgent or terrorist. By the time he was finally released in...

Slain contractor Nick Berg's father was a signatory on International A.N.S.W.E.R.'s "Call to Action" on March 20, 2004, to "End colonial occupation from Iraq to Palestine." Link

I've read some of the articles tonight describing what a great young man Nicholas Berg was;including one report that said he supported the war in Iraq. This is a bit at odds with a list of people who signed in for the Global Day of Action, sponsored by the intensely Marxist A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). Our own DOUG FROM UPLAND published the list of signatories here this March,and,among those signing was Michael S. Berg , teacher,Prometheus Methods Tower Services, Inc., West Chester,PA. Reading the accounts, Nicholas Berg was in Iraq twice- from 12/2003 to 02/01/04;...

frame grab taken from web site video footage May 11, 2004, shows a man, who identified himself as Nick Berg of Philadelphia (C) seated in front of his five masked captors moments before he was executed. Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq beheaded an American civilian and vowed more killings in revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, an Islamist Web site said on Tuesday. After one of the masked men read out a statement, they pushed Berg to the floor and shouted 'God is greatest' above his screams as one of them sawed his head off with a large knife...

<p>Hey Freepers. My name is Robert Menje and I am a member of ProtestWarrior.com. Tomorrow in NYC at 12 noon the Communist organization known as International ANSWER is holding an "I HATE AMERICA" march . They are meeting up at 42nd st. and Broadway. Let's show those Commies that Americans support our President and way of life. I spoke to the head of the NYC chapter of FreeRepublic, and she approved me to write this since she cannot make it to a computer that this moment. Happy Commie Hunting tomorrow.</p>
