Berg's Sister Blasts Media

Little Green Footballs

When Nicholas Berg was decapitated and his death videotaped by Michael Moore’s Iraqi “Minutemen,” his father promptly blamed the President and went on a speaking tour for the Stalinist group International ANSWER.

But Berg’s sister appears to be made of stronger stuff, and in a letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer she puts the blame squarely where it belongs—on the “holy warriors” and on their enabling useful idiots in the media:

One Reader’s View.

Some things are unforgivable. What Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his many accomplices did to my brother Nick is unforgivable. It was not an act of war; it was a cold-blooded, premeditated heinous crime. To call it anything else suggests that it is an acceptable act of war, an acceptable response to America’s military action. It is not.


The world would be a better place if al-Zarqawi was no longer in it. He is pure evil. I don’t think someone like him is capable of any human feeling anymore. The only way to keep people like him from harming thousands of other people is to eliminate them.

Before this happened, I did not comprehend the magnitude of his evil and of people like him. But to experience the heinousness of what he did to someone as good and as innocent as my brother has totally changed my perspective. I don’t know how to respond in a humane way to such inhumane acts. I don’t think a humane response is necessary.

What the media did to my family is also unforgivable. They made the worst week of my life infinitely worse. Decision-makers in the media need to make more humane decisions about what is a story and how they get it. Someone should have thought of a shocked, astounded and grieving family when they made those decisions. They spoke of their sympathy for us, but not once did they think the sympathetic thing to do would be to stop harassing us and allow us to grieve in peace.
