Honestly: Did you expect anything different??

No. Honestly. I expect worse from them. I'm not sure what I wrote in any of my posts here to lead you to believe I don't expect this. I wrote that I can't imagine the pain his family is going through. Which I can't.

This is the nature of the evil we're at war with. The evil that would rape children and broadcast those videos if they could get their hands on our babies. Unfortunately, I can imagine that.

And we need to act accordingly. I agree.

West Chester, Pennsylvania -- They knew he had been beheaded. But members of Nick Berg's family say they didn't want his fate to become public.

Berg's decapitation was shown in a video posted on the Web site of an Islamic militant group.

Just before his apparent execution, Berg reads a statement mentioning his parents, brother and sister, and that he lives in Philadelphia. His executioners said he was killed to avenge the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers. His body was found Saturday on a highway overpass in Baghdad.

Michael Berg says his 26-year-old son was a small-business owner from suburban Philadelphia. Suzanne Berg said her son had gone to Iraq thinking he could help rebuild the country.
