2. Well he should. It's Chimp's fucking fault for all of this.

Every death on both sides, every incident of torture, humiliation and atrocity on both sides, every tax dollar wasted and misappropriated can all be laid at the feet of Bush and his regime of murderers and war criminals.

3. Looks like they picked the wrong guy

Looks like they picked the wrong guy to kill. They should have picked someone with a Freeper family. They would have been on TV joining the Bushitos saying "they hate us for our freedoms".

If Berg's family keeps trashing Chimpy over this... they are going to do their best to make this story go away.

4. Well they did detain him and prevented him from leaving

when he first wanted.

I'd say they are indirectly or partly responsible, as his father has said.

6. But no, you can't say this! We need to carry out our brutal revenge

in his name!

Are any of the U.S. media even reporting on this aspect?

7. Why is this in A BRIT PAPER and not an American one?

Please tell me I'm wrong. I heard something about this yesterday--it's in American media as well, right? I mean, with all the propaganda hay the rat wing is making out of this horrific, sickening outrage, shouldn't their own nonsensical opinions ("The Berg murder proves we were right to torture innocent Iraqis!") at least somewhere have to encounter this rather incompatible fact?

8. A few weeks ago,

the conventional wisdom here was that Thomas Hamill deserved whatever he got, since he was a civilian who voluntarily went to Iraq to get a job. So why is it that Nick Berg, also a civilian who voluntarily went to Iraq to get a job, is purely a victim?

I can understand why his family would feel this way--no one should have to undergo the shock and pain and loss that they are feeling now. And I am glad they are speaking out about who is responsible for us being in Iraq. But there does seem to be a double standard in many of the posts on this subject.
