A video posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant Web site showed the beheading of an American civilian in Iraq, and said the execution was carried out by an Al Qaeda affiliated group to avenge the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.
The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit — similar to a prisoner's uniform — who identified himself as Nick Berg (search), a U.S. contractor whose body was found on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday.
"My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Susan," the man said on the video. "I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in ... Philadelphia."
After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and putting a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head off, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" — "God is great." They then held the head out before the camera.
Well, in case you want to see the movie, you can get it directly from The terrorist's web-site
Where is the outrage at this. American haters like Ted Kennedy bitch and moan about the so called "abuses" of the terrorists in Iraq, but where is the outrage at events like the beheading of this civilian? The murders of pregnant Israeli women?
Not only that, but where is the rush to constantly show the images? Why it is when American troops are involved in a non-issue the press makes it 24-7 coverage and when terrorists behead a civilian, it's relatively ignored.
When small numbers of our troops make the terrorists pose in women's underwear, people like Katie Couric call those actions atrocity. If that is an atrocity, what is this? Where is their righteous indignation at events like this?
There will be no calls for retribution (resignation of Rumsfeld). All these people are doing is siezing upon is an opportunity to act on their hatred of America and the American military.
