“Video Appears to Show Beheading of American”:
A video posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant Web site showed a group affiliated with Al Qaeda beheading an American civilian in Iraq, saying the death was revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.
The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit — similar to a prisoner’s uniform — who identified himself as Nick Berg, a U.S. contractor whose body was found on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday.
Naked men and dogs v. decapitation on videotape. Humiliating poses in front of a little woman smoking a cigarette v. slit throats. Yeah, I see the moral equivalency.
