Father of Executed American Blasts Bush, Media

[GreenPartyVoter]

LONDON (Reuters) - The father of an American civilian beheaded in Iraq (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites) and the U.S. media Tuesday of ignoring the "horrible face of war."

"People like George Bush and (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld (news - web sites) don't see the pain that people have to bear -- they don't know what it feels like to have your guts ripped out," Michael Berg told a news conference.

The decapitated body of Berg's son Nick was found by a roadside in Baghdad and a grisly video of his beheading was posted on an Islamist Web site in May.

"What I'm trying to do is show to the American people and the British people ... that war has a wretchedly horrible face," said Berg's father.

1. Cheney-ing A!!!

One rightfully furious parent of an American murdered in Iraq can be louder than ten right-wing sheep put together.

2. "burying" the truth

bush et al like to say that they oppose the displaying of flag-draped coffins to protect the privacy of the families who lose loved ones in Iraq ...

of course, we know the truth is that it's done solely for political reasons ...

what greater issue can there be for the American public than to be fully informed on issues of life and death and war ??? on what can we base our votes when we are lied to and the truth is hidden from our view?

3. It's worth it to bush and blair because it's not their

heads on the chopping block!

"Observing someone's pain just makes you think just how can they (Bush and Blair) possibly do this. There isn't enough money in the world that could ever make this worthwhile"
