Maybe they used two different tapes with two different timestamps and edited the footage together.

Thats my guess, two different tapes. Maybe one is on a tripod. That would account for the vastly different times between the clips, and also the different angles and "jitteryness".

The next time they kill a hostage, we can say, At least it was a humane quick kill.

This is what his father said- hopefully he hasn't seen the video because that was long and tortuous enough:

"I knew he was decapitated before," Michael Berg said. "That manner is preferable to a long and torturous death. But I didn't want it to become public."

Two cameras? Video spliced together?

Ok, I just noticed this too, it seems that the tripod camera has a clock problem. Twice in the footage I have seen, the second clock goes from :39 to :10, instead of 40, but then it goes up and over 40 find (at least the first time). First time was at 2:40:39, the next time was at 2:44:39. The next second reads as 2:44:10, you can see the still posted in this thread. One second before that still it read 2:44:39. The clock is messed up, or maybe thats how Arabs tell time, and this explains their backwardness..

His body was also left near US HQ hanging from a bridge. With the head nearby.

A picture of his body lying on the bridge was posted on this website yesterday; in it's place today is an apology to the family for having posted it.

Cut and paste the following line in your web browser's "address" field:

news:alt.binaries.pictures.grotesque

It should bring up the newsreader on your system. Warning: the content on that newsgroup is really bad.

I am afraid you are right, and I don't think the Americans or westerners are capable, for the most part, of supporting the kind of retaliation this butchery deserves.

Look at it from the perspective of these masqued scum. They slowly butcher this guy, film it, distrinute it, and they get immediate world-wide coverage, they intensify anti-war sentiment at home, and they demoralize other civilians over there.

Conclusion? Nothing succeeds like success and they repeat the demonstration.

The only suitable, rational response is one we are incapable of taking - drawing by lot ten Muslim terrorists, publicly beheading them, and burying the corpses in a pigskin with a warning that we will escalate our payback with each additonal western hostage captured or killed.
Next time - twenty Muslim terrorists feel the knife.

The other thing we should be doing, along with Israel, and every one else who is terrorized by these scum is to retaliate against their families.

If a terrorist or suicide bomber can be identified, and their families located, they should be captured, beheaded, and buried in pigskins. In a tribal society in which allegience to the extended family and tribe is more important than one's own survival, such tactics will reap rewards.

None of this is very pretty and it goes against western sensibilities of fairness and justice. However, it is the ONLY successful way to deal with people who think like these.

But we won't do it. We will continue to try to play the nice guy with a bunch of sub-human scum and in the long run - they will win because of it.

People like the Mongols, the Turks, the Romans successfully dealt with similar situations and the only way we can equally succeed is to emulate their ferocity.

The sick a$$holes on DU think this was done by Americans. They actually think Berg was killed by US CIA to cover up the prison crap.

I'm having difficulty deciding if their hatred for America has blinded them or if they are just so god awful stupid that they don't know any better.

It could be two different videos from different cameras. Perhaps the timetamps are different, either from low batteries in one camera, bad input from the beginning, or else the cameras used were programmed for different timezones.

The timestamp does look like it was from the same brand of camera, though, so there is of course the possibility that the time is right. Either they edited heavily or just stopped periodly and filmed different things to see what played 'best' in their twisted little point of view.

I doubt it ran continuously. If it ran that long continuously they must have an incredible battery.

They probably didn't want to include anything like what the Italian said before they killed him as it wouldn't play into their plan and so were careful to edit to get just what they wanted.

If we could master this sort of clarity and mobilize a majority of Western civilization if not to engage in it, to at least not oppose it, it would constitute the most important break through in our progress in at least 500 years. It's hard for the liberally educated and propagandized, bourgeoisified products of consumeristic mob ruled degraded late republicanism to grasp this. It seems horrible at first glance and our secularized, pampered minds cannot get comfortable with it. Bush could only mouth the words in his now famous speech, but getting everyone to actually undertake this doctrine has simply not been successful. Even Bush has had to back off substantially from the initial rhetoric. But his initial rhetoric was the truth, deny it though the masses might.

As someone on another thread said: "I wish I could unwatch it".

Father probably didn't know the details and made some assumptions that no one wanted to set right.

NOW is the time to (belatedly) benchmark our current and ineffective methodology Vs. what Westerners did to counter this the last time it happened (~ 900 - 1400 AD). For example, what did the Vienna do to those they actually captured (a small number since most were destroyed outright in battle)?
