Al Qaeda beheads civilian
Disturbing images of the beheading of Nick Berg here. Full video here.
WARNING: IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC.
While viewing the pictures/video are not necessary to understand the actions taken, I think it’s extremely important for people to see these, as disturbing as they are. Doing so allows someone to have a fuller understanding of the effects of this current conflict, moreso than reading an edited-for-content report by one of the (politically influenced) major newsmedia outlets. I have no intent to exploit this footage, but rather, to share it with those that want to see/hear what CNN and other newsources are not making available.
After viewing these images, ask yourself these questions: Did you have the same emotional response after viewing the photographs of Iraqi prisonor abuse by Americans? If not, why? If you are strongly disturbed by the footage, what are you going to (and what can you) do about it?

I AM A FORMER CORPORAL FROM THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO CONTEST ON WHICH IS WORSE. AN AMERICAN BOYS FAMILY HAD TO WATCH THEIR SON DIE ON A VIDEO TAPE WHEN HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE MILITARY BUT WAS THEIR TO HELP REBUILD A FALLEN COUNTRY. IF THIS IS SOME SORT OF PAYBACK FOR ABUSING IRAQI PRISONERS THEN THAT SHOW THE CALIBER PEOPLE WE ARE DEALING WITH. I WOULD PUT MY OPINION ON STEPS WE SHOULD NOW TAKE BUT I KNOW THEY WOULD NOT BE DESCENT FOR A COMPUTER SITE. I DO BELIEVE IN AN EYE FOR AN EYE THOUGH SO MAYBE WE NEED TO START MAKING SOME TAPES OF OUR OWN WITH THEIR PRISONERS.
I ALSO WOULDLIKE TO ADD HOW BIG OF COWARDS THEY ARE. WHAT ARE THEY PROVING BY DOING THAT TO A CIVILIAN. HE WASN’T THERE TO FIGHT. ARE THEY T SCARED TO TRY TO GET SOMEONE IN THE MILITARY. NOT SAYING THAT WOULD MAKE IT ANY BETTER BUT WHY A CIVILIAN. AND WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE BLACK MASK ALL THE TIME? SUCH BIG BAD SCARY MEN BUT TO CHICKEN SHIT TO SHOW YOUR FACES HUH! I BET YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE MEN. YEAH RIGHT
