The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death.

The FreeRepublic.com web site and forum has a reputation for right-wing views, fanatical Republicanism and relentless pro-war activism.
On 7th March, 2004, just three weeks before the first anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, an 'enemies' list of anti-war groups and individuals was posted on the Free Republic forum.
It began: "Here you are, FReepers. Here is the enemy."
-- snip --
At the time the list was posted, Nick Berg had just come back from an Iraq trip lasting from late December to Feb. 1. He had reported no problems whatsoever with Iraqi police during that visit.
Yet, within two weeks of the list being posted, Nick Berg --back in Iraq on his final fatal trip-- was reportedly detained in Mosul at an Iraqi police checkpoint.

DU thread where they blame FR. Absolutely sick.

This is a disgusting insinuation. I wonder if JimRob can take legal action?
Quite aside from the fact that it's absurd to suggest that Islamofacists are selecting their victims this way. The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy? Ludicrous.

They are pissed off because on Tuesday someone from Free Republic pointed out the Nic Berg's father was an active and particpating member of ANSWER.

Howsabout we just blame the liberals and their media for giving his executioners the impression of sympathy to their cause.
I'm really getting tired of living in an age where I've got to pussyfoot around people because my opinion may offend someone or get me fired...

Well, it seems we have a lot of power over here. That being the case, I have quite a long list to draw up for the Islamists to inspect ;)

Besides, everyone knows the fanatics support the DEMOCRATS. Why would they kill an opponent of the war?

You know, I read through DU once in a very rare while. It's appalling to see the worldview that so many of them have - profane, nihilist, pessimist and hateful. A good reminder of why they should never be allowed to come to power again.
