Well BUSH is using the beheading as a political football. Rush said that it was the pictures having been released about the misconduct and mistreatment (notice...that he doesn't say torture,sodomizing,atrocities.... just misconduct ) anyway.... that prompted the actions of the A Quada..and IF these pictures had not been released..( now we are leading to repression information ) this would not have occurred... And that it only demonstrates even more how we must battle these Terrorists....

I saw both a democrat and republican member of Congress take a different tact. They claimed that in spite of what Al Quaeda had said about taking revenge, they really would have beheaded Berg anyway. Consequently, the "mistreatment and misconduct" as Rush would put it, had nothing to do with it at all.

BTW, I read a couple of articles on Berg and he seems to have been a really nice guy. At the end of one article, his father mentioned that if the terrorists found out that his son was Jewish, that would have sealed his fate. And I thought, isn't being Jewish and looking for work in Iraq [or Syria, Lebanon, Egypt....] a bit like a black guy going to a KKK rally looking for work?
