Apparently some things even Hamas and Hezbollah will not condone

Arab governments and Islamic militant groups, most of which have spoken out repeatedly about the abuse of Iraqi prisoners, initially kept silent about the videotaped slaying.

On Thursday, however, Lebanon?s Hezbollah and the militant Palestinian group Hamas, both labeled terrorist organizations by the United States, said the beheading was appalling and un-Islamic.

In a statement faxed to The Associated Press, Hezbollah called the 26-year-old Berg?s killing an ?extremely brutal and cruel? act.

?Hezbollah condemns this grisly act which has caused great harm to Islam and to Muslims by this group which falsely claims to belong to the religion of mercy, compassion and genuine human values,? the statement said.
-------
?I condemn this brutal act and sympathize with the family of the slain American man, who I consider a victim of the wrong U.S. policies in the region,? Hamdan told The Associated Press. ?U.S. President George Bush and [Berg?s] killers are equally responsible.?
--------
Both groups have condemned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, and Hezbollah has denounced a few other major terrorist attacks that targeted civilians, but the language they used Thursday was unusually tough.

Ludicrous statement of the day . . .

The other Palestinian militant group, Islamic Jihad, declined to comment on the beheading. The group?s Lebanese representative, Abu Imad Rifai, said he couldn?t be sure Berg was dead.

?I cannot comment on the report because I am not sure of its authenticity. I didn?t see the man?s body,? Rifai told AP.

You know you're evil when suicide bombers say you're evil.

Self serving. These guys know that by doing this is will only make it harder for them to continue on their mission of driving Jews into the sea.

Alas American pols like Zell Miller and Inhoffe are chomping at the bit trying to turn Berg's murder into a clarion call to rally the American public . . . and forget about the deprave pictures. I bet Miller didn't even look at the "classified" pix.

I dont think they have to try anything. People can look at what happened to him and see what kind of people we are dealing with. If somebody needs to be convinced that the people we are dealing with are anything short of an animal, then I am afraid there is no amount of convincing that will get them to change their mind.

After reading about Berg's connection to Mossassaui (sp?), I don't think it is ludicrous to assume that Berg is not dead or was killed by different people. Seems like that is too extreme a coincidence, especially for someone who made the odd decision to go to Iraq alone, not as a contractor or soldier.

I don't think it is ludicrous to assume that Berg is not dead

His headless corpse says otherwise.

Please tell me you're not serious.

Grainy video, which is what is in question here, does not serve as proof.

The body was found on Saturday, I believe it was identified on Monday, flown to Dover on Wednesday, and buried yesterday. Either you haven't been following the news, or you don't believe any of that, in which case, nothing anyone says here will convince you otherwise.
