This is very-very bad. I am devastated. Though I have no real proof yet, I have a sick feeling that the rightwing has really gone too far this time. They are starting to lose their conservative base and this is exactly what they think they need. They're just desperate and ruthless enough to do something like this.

it also makes me think of so many other fishy things. Like flying all the Saudis and Bin laudens out after 9-11. Letting Osama go at Tora Bora. The disappearance of Saddam Hussein (reportedly gone so mad he cannot talk) and of course the prison torture photos. Are you telling me those guys torturing the prisoners wouldn't murder some Al Qaida sympathizer if ordered to? Berg sounds very guilty to me.

Thanks to the internet there is no stopping this story now. Much more will come out. And it is sure to be a big mess. It could either destroy Bush, save him or just cause more huge nasty division in our country. Either way it's bad.

I have watched the tape from beginning to end. It was gruesome. There are some scenes that make no sense:

1. The prisoner's clothing that Nick Berg wore.
2. The couch potato shaped bodies of the five masked men.
3. The person in the middle read pages of statements while the rest stood there.The normal reactions of the other masked men was body movement while standing and waiting such as adjusting the shoulder strap, moved the leg a little bit, etc.

Yet, Nick Berg in that sitting postion never moved. He was in an uncomfortable position, but there was no movement of any part of his body. It is hard to see if he even blinked.

4. Towards the end of the tape, Nick's body was pushed down to his left, and the man in the middle sawed his neck. There was no jerking or violent body reaction. At the end of the tape the head was held by his hair: no blood. If he was alive when he head was cut off, the blood from his body would splattered all over. His body would still be jerking a few moment thereafter.

Could it be that Nick Berg was already dead and they cut a dead body? His body was found on an overpass: was it covered with blood?

The tape was really gruesome!
