Did anyone else notice that the MSM largely ignored the aniversary of Nick Berg's beheading on video? This was the beginning of the insurgent's tactic of beheading American civilians on video. Abu Ghraib is still grabbing headlines even though it is a 2 year old story. I suppose that they felt it might have made the outrage over the Koran flushing seem trivial in comparison to the aniversary of the comencement of innocent Americans being butchered like hogs on TV.

It was not ignored here where the Berg family lives. In fact his sister made a comment 180 degrees opposed to what his father has said and it was ignored. The dad is an Ultra-lib pacifist who still thinks the terrorists are just misunderstood. The sister belives the terrorists need to be held accountable. I guess the MSM is done with them. Not news anymore.

Too bad noone hears from the sister. It would be good if she would be willing to go on Hannity and talk about how the media had forgotten and how she is not a terrorist sypmathizer.

You nailed it, Scotty!!!
They are so busy accusing our troops of targeting journalists that they have forgotten that it was the TERRORISTS who butchered one of their own!!
I, for one, will ALWAYS remember the horror I felt at the barbaric death of Nick Berg.

Their evil is below barbaric. Civilized society has an obligation to confront them and eliminate them. That's it.

Yes, I felt horrible too, I saw the whole tape later. What angered me was when the MSM made it "look like" they were the ones who told his father. As if he didn't know why there was a media antenna farm camped out on his front lawn, then he actually went through the motions of "just findin out" with his bicycle helmet on. Even the press follows their own rule about not releasing the names of recently deceased until next of kin are notified first. But the public is supposed to be stupid and believe that kind of dribble, all for the hatred of the Bush Administration.

| The thing that bothers me about the Nick Berg tragedy is that his parents have focused blame on the Bush administration. His father is very verbal about it. In my opinion it tarnishes his son's memory. If I were looking for someone to blame I first would blame the lunatics that wielded the machete, and then I would blame CBS for it's relentless intent to undermine our efforts in Iraq, successfully getting the Abu Ghraib prison story published just in time to give Zarqawi a platform to behead my son. As he personally cut off his head, he announced that it was revenge for that. By now I would have found a lawyer willing to sue CBS for libel. Newsweek's recent terrible blunder would only be strengthening my case. |

The Berg parents live in the PC University town of West Chester. They are still holding Saturday War Protests at the courthouse last I saw. They do not live in a real world.
