The video and pictures of Nick Berg

Andrew Sullivan has been getting a bit livid lately. Here he is yesterday:

Here they are - absolutely horrifying beyond belief. My heart goes out to his family. We will now see what the mainstream media is made of. You think we will see “slideshows” of this?

I can see why he is indignant, it seems strange that the media won’t show the pictures or video, due to audience ’sensitivity’. And yet the crimes against Iraqi prisoners, while not as horrific, are show more or less unedited.

The full video is making the rounds on Kazaa, Sullivan links to an edited version. I am linking to the full version of the video, and warning people of the obvious graphic nature of it.

This is not about sensationalising, merely about allowing people to decide for themselves. If you do want to see it, click the links, if you do not, don’t.

For my part I watched it once and will not do so again.

    I am more concerned about comments posted by Army Sniper. I hope you are just some kid that unfortunately seen this horrific movie..
    Cause if you are talking seriously and telling the truth you are worse than the killers in the footage..

    this is a very interesting.topic all parts of the human expirece is is in the opinion.death..life..and reason..mikie and pete are on the right path..that said i do not agree with the war i kewn when the balls stared rolling whatever the outcome (2003).. we would stuck with the duty to finish or be oblogated to ” ” win. this is the nature of war fare.now that said once this is stared the nation or the goverment owes a certin amount of effort to the people who risk, die, and injured in the confick…right or wrong. WE own them everthing and to give nothing less is not right.they disverve victory and…this war hurts, but it is not the hardest thing this counrty has undertaken..20 dudes with box cuters dose not sound like nuclear war.. it would be a shme if it was to come to that.

    Until this day, I will never forget what have happened to our fellow Americans while saving Iraq’s poor ass. I am still enraved and burning with anger. I will never understand their inhumane acts, and I will never be able to live my life with a positive perception of Islamic people (it doesn’t bother me if anyone out there categorises me as a typically closed-minded being). That is PURE EVIL, and no normal human beings should even be capable of such actions and ideas! I would still like to pray for Nick Berg’s (along with other fellow Americans, who have died the same way in Iraq) soul to rest in peace, and for all of the pain, sorrow and grievance that Nick’s family is still undergoing until this very day. I remember when I couldn’t sleep and eat after seeing the footage of Nick Berg’s (cold-hearted) decapitation, as I seriously never thought human beings were capable of the “unimaginable”. I will never perceive Islam the same way again. The Islamic seems to bring trouble wherever they land - even here in Australia!

    To Nick’s family: I will always be sorry for Nick’s life being taken away from him in such ways - and especially from your family :-( I will continue to include Nick as part of my prayers, and may his sould rest in peace, forevermore.

    PS: May the souls of other American troops abducted by the Iraqi animals also rest in peace, Amen.
