Nick Berg's Father and International A.N.S.W.E.R.

[clandradio]

Slain contractor Nick Berg's father was a signatory on International A.N.S.W.E.R.'s "Call to Action" on March 20, 2004, to "End colonial occupation from Iraq to Palestine."

Unfortunately to my thinking, the opposite....his mission is poorly defined, clear family contacts with ANSWER, catches enough interest from the US government to be detained....what if previous radical Iraqi contacts subsequently came to regard him as CIA AFTER his detention and decided to "re-evaluate" their recently formed relationship?.....the family's insistence on his having been a Bush supporter just makes me think something else is going on here.

It's only 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 too many. But seriously that's on the high side and, certainly only a much smaller number are actually willing to do acts like Berg's murder, instead of just supporting such acts.

We need to kill Berg's killers and those who support them.

Just don't pose them on dog leshes, lest the world be shocked. Bringing to mind the line from the Randy Newman song: "Let's drop the big one now, they all hate us anyhow."

"Was he a Jew? I haven't heard that on the media."

The WSJ is claiming today that he was Jewish. That may have contributed to his being selected. (my opinion)

[daybreakcoming]

Therefore, A.N.S.W.E.R. supports those who killed Nick Berg. And Michael Berg supports A.N.S.W.E.R.

I said yesterday how sad it was that M Berg had his son's blood on his hands for this very reason. I did not mean it is a cruel way at all, but a fact.

Why wait? Just tune into any of the news shows this morning. There's the father of the deceased, blaming the U.S.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I was wondering last night if his father's association with known leftist groups had put this young man on "the radar screen" to the authorities, and that was why he was detained in Iraq. ANSWER does support the Iraqi/Al Queda fighter who are doing the killing. Although detained, he was safe in US hands. Then his "let's call the ACLU" father gets him released.

It would be ironic if his father's ideolological associations and mindset had first gotten Nick detained then released to be abducted and killed.

I want to know why the heck the AP photographer was there
when the news was delievered to the Berg household (or do they now send AP staff to deliver bad news?)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Interesting question.

[CharlotteVRWC]

Yea,,, somehow you think that the news would be delivered formally, perhaps by the military (even though Nick wasn't in the military), before letting the press come in blazing with their cameras.

However, this is NOT the true face of Islam anymore than the Aryan Nation Church or the Oklahoma City bombing is the "true face of Christianity."

Especially since the OKC bomber was an atheist.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The State Department had informed Berg's anguished family of the grisly killing on Monday. "I knew he was decapitated before," Berg's father Michael told reporters. "That means is preferable to a long and torturous death. But I didn't want it to become public." When first told that a videotape of the killing was posted on the Internet, the elder Berg and his two surviving children kneeled slowly to the ground in the front yard in West Chester, Pa., and wept as they hugged each other for comfort.

Ain't that the truth. I used to read 3 or 4 newspapers a day and never missed the network news. Now I get the real news and avoid the propaganda.

[CharlotteVRWC]

The headline under the photo in our Charlotte Disturber says ....and is comforted after learning the gruesome details of his son's slaying at the hands of militants in Iraq.

So is the AP phototgrapher the one that does the followup to deliver gruesome details and take a photo? (sarcasm).

[Major_Risktaker]

Puzzling Find...The father is against the war, however the family will try to profit from the war. To strange for me because this enemy within will make money off the war and donated the same money to people against the war.

This enemy has to many heads.

It's like were fighting Medusa.

I imagine there was a media mob there when a reporter told him the video was on the net.

[gathersnomoss]

"I think the video must be out there for all Americans to see."

All but those who get their mind food from the "slime on the video" networks. There will be no mass outrage.

This sucks!

[Major_Risktaker]

There will be no mass outrage.

The mass outrage will happen on Nov. 7, 2004
when Bush wins by a landslide!

[gathersnomoss]

It will be close. I'll take all bets.
