Horror: as US citizen is beheaded on video

A poor quality videotape posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant website showed
five masked men believed to be linked with Al-Qaeda beheading an American hostage
dressed in orange Guantanamo Bay style

"My name is Nick Berg, my father’s name is Michael, my mother’s name is Susan.
I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in Philadelphia," the man
in the video said.

After reading a statement, the man was beheaded.

A body found in Baghdad over the weekend has been identified as Mr Berg.

"Berg’s body was found with his hands behind his back and beheaded," said a US
official who declined to be identified. "The body was found along a roadside
by a US military patrol."

Parents 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 on Tuesday 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 early April,
according to Mr Berg, the security situation had so deteriorated that it was
difficult for him to make his way home.

"That’s really what cost my son his life, the fact that the United States government
saw fit to keep him in custody for 13 days without any of his due process or
civil rights," Mr Berg said.

The family’s accusation comes as the Bush administration struggles to fend
off allegations that it has denied the civil rights of thousands of mostly
Arab detainees it is holding in military prisons.

  • The militants are really idiots. They had the world opposition of the big bad Americans that torture poor defenseless muslums. Now, with this horrific video, they show that they are the ultimate animals. They make the prison treatment look tame. No use on being dumb if you cannot show it.

    • They sawed his head off. The guys in prison wearing panties on their heads are terrorist. Too bad we can’t have Sadam back for a day to run the old prison.

    • I am not so sure that this is not a plot of the great United States. You must admit it sure gets the heat off others that really don’t want heat. After all what is one more life?

    • You retard, show some respect.

    • have you found this video? I would as well like to see it?

    • http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/video-beheading-nick-berg-beheaded.html Thats a website with the movie.

    • Just checked out the web site you listed what a collection of garbage. I bet Bush authorized this junk its about his educational level. I have never seen anything so funny in my entire life. By the way Brittney Spears is a big Bush supporter in case you didn’t know. She has appeared in more than one interview stating that she "trusts and admires him" so your retouched photo of her as a lesbo is really a slap in the Republipukes face as she is one of yours.....

  • poor quality fake video footage, its bush trying to stir up shit, i want to see some high quality video of a man screaming as they saw his head off

  • I think its a terrible thing and a cowardly act by the terrorist. I think what goes around comes around , GOD will deal with them when the time comes. I hope they burn in HELL in the mean time.
