So everybody agrees it's a tragedy that this happened, but I haven't seen anyone mention the <I>REAL</I> tragedy.
Nick Berg was supposed to head back to America in late March. En route to his destination, he was detained by Iraqi police in Mosul, and handed over to AMERICAN forces. Our forces held Mr. Berg for 13 days, without giving him a reason for WHY he was being detained, nor giving him access to his lawyer. He was finally released when his parents in America found out he was being detained without reason & took it to court.
Mr. Berg was released and went back on his way. Unfortunately, he was kidnapped by the terrorists shortly after. Had our forces not detained him without reason, and provided him access to a lawyer, PER HIS RIGHTS, none of this would have happened.
Obviously the Bush administration doesn't give a flying fuck about democracy or human rights & this is a perfect example of what happens when these things are ignored.

Where'd you read that?
