I am so grateful to the jihadis that sawed the head from mister Berg. Thank Allah that they didn't put any panties on his head before they cut it off. That would have been an atrocity.
I have seen pictures of people, bound hand and foot, being pushed off a 5 story building in Baghdad. Saddam's sadistic torturers had hundreds of other "methods". The prisoners in the particular abu Ghraib cell block where the "shocking" treatment was meted out were supposed to be high level loyalists and Saddam's closest cronies.
It is just possible that some of them were getting a mild hazing compared to what they inflicted on thousands of Saddam's enemies now in Iraq's mass graves.
