CBS to Air U.S. Soldier's Video Diary of Iraq Abuse
By REUTERS
Published: May 11, 2004
Filed at 8:20 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An American soldier's video diary showing her disdain for Iraqi detainees who died in her charge is to be broadcast by a U.S. network on Wednesday in a further escalation of the prisoner abuse scandal that has shaken the Bush administration and provoked world outrage.
CBS, which two weeks ago broadcast the first pictures of Iraqi prisoners being abused in Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, said on Tuesday its ``60 Minutes II'' program would show video footage depicting conditions there and at another U.S.-run prison in southern Iraq called Camp Bucca.
Photographs of Iraqi prisoners being sexually humiliated, threatened by dogs and piled into pyramids as grinning American soldiers look on have been published round the world, dealing a major setback to U.S. attempts to stabilize Iraq.
The Pentagon has said that it has more pictures and video of abuse that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has warned may be even more shocking.
An Islamic Web site said on Tuesday that an American civilian, Nick Berg from Philadelphia, had been beheaded by an al Qaeda leader in Iraq in revenge for the ``Satanic degradation'' of Iraqi prisoners.
CBS said the home video did not show scenes of abuse but included comments by the soldier, whose name was not revealed to protect her identity, that make clear her dislike for the camp and the prisoners under her control.
``I hate it here,'' she said on the tape. ``I want to come home. I want to be a civilian again. We actually shot two prisoners today. One got shot in the chest for swinging a pole against our people on the feed team. One got shot in the arm. We don't know if the one we shot in the chest is dead yet.''
In her video, the soldier described the hazards of Camp Bucca. ``This is a sand viper,'' she said. ``One bite will kill you in six hours. We've already had two prisoners die of it, but who cares? That's two less for me to worry about.''
The soldier said about three prisoners broke out of the camp every week, but they did not try to escape when she was on duty.
``It's 'cause they are scared of me,'' she said. ``I actually got in trouble the other day because I was throwing rocks at them.''
CBS said another soldier spoke of a chaotic situation at Camp Bucca with a dangerously low ratio of guards to prisoners.
Tim Canjar, who was discharged from the military for abusing Iraqi prisoners, said that during one disturbance ``at one point, it was me and another soldier guarding. I was watching 535 prisoners on my side ... The prisoners started hitting us.''
Fellow soldier Lisa Girman, who was discharged with Canjar, said commanders ignored the problems at Camp Bucca.
She complained of ``the ignorance of the chain of command not to listen to the person who was actually on the front line.''
Girman's and Canjar's families tried to draw attention to the problems at Camp Bucca last year. They called Rumsfeld's office repeatedly and talked to his staff, but got no response, CBS said. Their letters to the White House and two senators were also unanswered.
Girman and Canjar, and a third soldier, Scott McKenzie, were discharged for punching and kicking Iraqi prisoners. They have vowed to appeal the decision and want the U.S. Congress to investigate.

You don't suppose they "lost" any prisoners over the tailgate ramp, do ya?
Do you remember when I said that the CIA and Delta Force and the Special Forces were probably smoking al-Quaida guerrillas in cafe's and coffee shops in cities all over the world?
I'd say these guys are really fucking sorry they ever fucked with the United States. But at least they are still alive, and if they know what's good for them, they will sing like canaries. And if they won't, I hope they can swim, cause it's a long way back.
You guys are always talking about "gangsta this" and "gangsta that."
Well THIS is the real deal. Anybody that fucks with us will profoundly regret it. That's REAL gangsta, not some pretend bad ass poseur in a low-rider Buick.
You want to see "hard?" This ^^^ is hard. "NO MERCY." Believe it.
So now, the iraqi kabar feels exactly the same way....so this is war gentlemen, worst thing ever.

um, i doubt they showed this on american tv (being the propeghanda machine it is) but did any of you see the guy's dad talking about what happened? did you hear about his son getting arrested and held with no charge in iraq, then being released? he should have actually been home before now, and had it not been for the army screwing him around and locking him up for nothing, he would still have a head on his shoulders. oh, and did they translate the bit where the killers said they tried to negotiate a hostage trade, but the army weren't having it? kinda funny now they're offering like $14,000,000 to anyone who can help capture the murderer. could have put that money into health care or education for americans if they had just traded em for an iraqi or two. oh well, politicians have turd for brains.

I find it ironic that the entire military is attempting to pin the torture on her and a half-dozen or so other reverists and low-ranking soldiers, yet she still wouldn't name who in her command structure ordered her to "pose in the pictures," as she said. When asked who ordered her, she only says "persons in my chain of command" and no more.

alota people on here should listen to Immortal Technique, hes got some freeesssh ass songs aout politics. this song fits this thread, pleease take the time to read it:
Talking]
Immortal Technique
Revolutionary Volume 2
Yeah, broadcasting live from Harlem, New York
Let the truth be known..
[Verse 1]
You better watch what the fuck flies outta ya mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch
And slit your throat, so when you scream, only blood comes out
I doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC
'Cuz AIDs infested child molesters aren't sicker than me
I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
The way the government downplays historical facts
'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich
Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight
Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic
But I refused the offer, 'cuz God sent me to strike
With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke
My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon
And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
You think illuminati's just a fuckin conspiracy theory?
That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit
And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government
So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me
Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently
Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
Sniper scoping a commission controllin the president
[Hook]
Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
The truth will set you free, written down in this song
And the song has the Cause of Death written in code
The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul..
Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul..
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence
Marines Corps. flat (?) vest, with the guns and ammo
Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rockin a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart
I don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans
About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house niggaz fooled, but I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why the Government lies
Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..
[Man talking]
He is scheduled for 60 Minutes next. He is going on
French, Italian, Japanese television. People
everywhere are starting to listen to him. It's embarassing

yeah, from what his dad was saying i got the impression that the iraqi police arrested him and handed him over to the army. i guess his dad only got the info 2nd or 3rd hand and even then it was probably only a half-truth. the army will be trying to keep a lid on what actually happened and just divert attention to the "badguys".
i love this latest "enemies of freedom" tag that the "terrorists" have been given. it is fucking stupid. yeah, they don't want freedom for anyone. they woke up one morning on a sunny day and decided "lets go kill us some infidels". there were no other factors leading up to this state of play. none at all. stay tuned to fox news for all the latest updates on iraq and britney's new boyfriend. he's so dreamy

He was arrested by Iraqi police for suspicious behavior near off-limits areas, but the US forces looked into it, decided he hadn't done anything wrong, and offered him free passage back to US, but he turned it down.
I wonder what the deal is with humans. Angry opponents, both saying "they hurt us, we'll hurt them back". And this sentiment is stronger than any of the involved parties' religious teachings, which they quote selectively to back their bellicosity. "God is on our side." Neither Christianity nor Islam condone beheadings, suicide bombings, etc. The human urge to spill blood does not arise from dogma, it is stronger than dogma. What is the point of such a destructive force which arises naturally in humans? Overpopulation control feature?

i think its just that when youre over there, its you vs them, you build up this hatred that is so violent and so in you because its your life or their life.
and when youre getting shot at, and blown up and having friends killed in your squad, im sure that shit gets you crazy pissed off, those guys and girls in your squad are your new family, so you care for them like they were family almost.
and i know if i was over there id be one trigger happy mother fucker, not because im racist or think im a bad ass, but id be so scared of who was a civilian and who was a "bad guy" that i wouldnt take many risks...
you jump out of some shit im checking out, or in a building hiding and spook me... shiiiiiiiiit, youre ass is getting lit the fuck up.
i know i got a lil off track, but i hope you guys see what im saying...
and even though these piks are dealing with our troops and captured enemies... that's exactly what im saying... even though they are harmless in those piks, im sure the troops hate them to no end...
and im not justifying beating them by any means, because that shit isnt right at all... but i could see how their extreme hatred towards those they fight against could lead them to doing the stupid shit they did...
(and who is dumb enough to take photos like that, and then let them get out to the news????) fucking idiots...

there was an man on the ground, hands and feet bound, wearing a dashiki, dress sort of thing. they take a long sharp pole (about 8 feet i believe), carefully stick it into his ass, then pick him up and place the pole into some kind of base. for about two minutes, the guy screams his fucking head off, as his body weight slowly pulss him down, and pushes the pole through his whole body, then finally out his neck. the video was decent quality, was shot up close, and in full sound. there is a chanting crowd around the whole thing, cheering it on. supposidly the guy raped a woman.
i have definitely not recovered from seeing it.

Weapon X

The Nazis used to treat their POWs like shit, and that’s a big reason why they were such terrible people. The Americans are doing the same thing, and while they may not have killed and displaced millions of people systematically, they do fuck up a lot of animals and ecosystems. So the Americans are a really bad superpower. If the Republicans get elected again, it’s going to be a matter of time until the American War Machine turns it’s ugly head towards a non-Islamic country. That’s what I think, anyway.
I don’t see what the hell is so shocking about this. The first page is full of people saying how they’re so disgusted by the behaviour of these soldiers and how this is war. This isn’t a part of war, in my opinion. It’s just some perverted Americans (there’s a lot of them) doing what they can to get off by degrading some naked dudes. No doubt, apply some psychological abuse, but do it a little more tastefully, no?
War is as inherent in humans as love and fear is. I don’t think peeing on a pile of naked guys is a part of most humans’ psyche.
So I showed my dad this video, and he had only two things to say: the muslim people are savages, and that the Bush government is adios come election time.

I don't want to turn this into a 'The worst thing I've seen' thread, but the worst thing I've seen also comes from the middle east.
It was on a tv show about the abuses of human rights in the Middle East. The tape showed a woman, who had apparently committed adultery, knealing down in a town square, tied up in a white bag.
All of a suddden the crowd of people all around started to throw rock after rock after rock at her, and the bag started to turn red and become saturated in blood, then she slumped to the floor, and they kept throwing those rocks, I guess till she was dead.
These are some of the kind of people we're dealing with.

I don’t want to say they are all savages. Nor could I say that I wouldn’t want to leak a video on the net of me killing a hostage if some army ran through my nation. I probably would love showing my disdain that way. Morally speaking, it beats running up next to a bus and killing several innocents who couldn’t see it coming.

think about it this way.
imagine your 'average' person that very strongly believes in capital punishment and thinks that prisons are 'too nice'. this same person is also probably going to republican, correct? he is also probably going to support bush. i know i'm relying on stereotypes, but i've met enough of these people to know that there are A LOT of them. texas has a whole state full of them. infact, the south is pretty much inundated with them. anyway, can you honestly tell me that someone who fits that image (which is NOT a far stretch) is going to look at that video and say 'well, you know, that's justice!'?
fuck no.
the same people who are defending the prison abuses as being 'part of war', are the same ones who are calling this beheading 'savage'.
condemning the abuses, and thinking this is savage is a completely different story. as is calling both this, and the abuses 'a part of war'. im simply talking about the uber-patriotic, red white and 'true' americans that make exceptions for the abuses, but find the same actions in others to be deplorable.

Those who favor tougher prisons and capital punishment favor it for those proven guilty of heinous crimes... this Berg guy was doing civilian construction work that did not merit such a brutal death.
Granted, I'm sure these conservatives would be outraged anyways if it had been a guy responsible for killing dozens, but I think it's still an unfair comparison, and not particularly ironic or contradictive. Even if they condone harsh capital punishment for criminals, there is still more than enough reason for them to be logically outraged by this particular event.

Although my natural curiosity nearly got me to click on the link, I held back after reading some of the comments that people left. It seems like even the most "hardened" people are affected by the video, so thats why I'm agreeing with ol' PMB here.
Even reading about it bums me out, I don't need to see a guy go through that.
On another note,
I find it funny that a lot of extreme right wingers are using this as justification or reasoning for the abuse in Iraqi prisons. I was listening to Michael Savage last night (who is honestly one of the most disgusting human beings I've ever heard speak) and he went off on a diatribe about how this is a million times worse than putting a guy on a leash and taking pictures of it. Sex with prisoners, humiliation and abuse are apparently now okay because we have video of Nick Berg getting beheaded. We're so full of American pride and a stupid childish attitude of superiority and always being on the "right side" of things that we don't see the hipocrisy in this.
This war is fucked up on BOTH sides, and as Roe mentioned earlier it's all a futile attempt to instill democracy into a place where its pretty obvious (see Nick Berg video) that they don't want it. The US government has been saying that this is a small portion of the population, not the majority. But if this small population will go to these lengths to show their distaste for our being in their country, then how the fuck does Bush or Rumsfeld think we're going to win this "war?"
For the first time in my relatively short life, I feel sorry for being a part of something like this, even at the lowest level of simply being an American citizen. Bush and company got us into it, and if level-headed people like us can't seem to see a way out of it, how in the hell are those retards in Washington supposed to do it?
I'm scared about what's next. What are we going to do?

sorry to get off topic but..
it seems this peak oil shit is getting quite alot of play these days. i have a hard
time grasping the complexity of it, either it is very real and a very disturbing problem or it's a real alarmist thing. from what i've researched(not much), the so called
'oil crunch' is real and quite fucked. here is one realist/alarmist's take on the viability of alternative sources: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/PageTwo.html

First of all, that guy is a douchebag. He purposefully sensationalizes the
problem as a ploy to sell his book. While he gives reason that those
methods *individually* could not replace oil, the fact is that with the
adoption of any of those methods as a secondary resource, our oil demand
will begin to decrease. Also, using the new methods, implementing the
other methods will only become easier.
I'm not trying to turn a blind eye to the problem, I just don't think he needs

Nick Berg was a jew, as well. And I think the Daniel Pearl incident DID in fact get a lot of press, but the latest war controversies have a knack of knocking each other out in the media spectrum.

The best way to put this into context is that this sort of thing happens a lot. Places like Rwanda, whole villages get slaughtered by machete in this similar manner. In Bosnia, families were dragged onto bridges, their throats cut, and thrown into the river. Not to say that this video isn't upsetting, cause it is. I think the worst part was seeing his family in ruin.

unless you walk around in a major city, that number wont even come close to being 10,000 people, but it's a start.

now imagine roughly 30-40 stadiums filled with dead bodies.

*please respond to this...his argument is that the facts are alarming and action must

I don't disagree that we have a problem, nor that it needs to be addressed
presently (or in the near future.) I disagree with his criticisms of each
of the alternative resources, and his general demeanor. Take as an
example his criticism of solar energy:
Solar power currently supplies .007% of the US energy supply. As a replacement for oil, it is unsuitable due to the following reasons:
1. Energy from solar power varies constantly with weather or day/night.
Thanks for the tip. That's what power cells are for. Also, how often
would clouds (or any weather) affect the daylight conditions in the middle
of a desert? Let's use common sense: We aren't going to pave over our
midwestern states to put up solar panels; we're going to do it in an
otherwise fruitless area.
2. Not practical for transportation needs. While a handful of small, experimental, solar-powered vehicles have been built, solar power is unsuited for planes, boats, cars, tanks, etc.
Considering that the direct yield from solar cells is electricity, I don't
know any other form of energy that can be sent around the globe at over 1,000
miles per second. Also, we need only to mass produce the electric motors
that we have now to fully exploit electricity as a clean alternative to oil.
3. Solar cannot be adapted to produce pesticides, fertilizer, or plastics.
No shit. But if we implement this before oil runs out, please believe
there will be plenty of petroleum left for those other products. Burning
oil is its most wasteful use; we need far less of it to create plastics than
we do to run cars.
4. Solar is susceptible to the effects of global climate change, which is projected to greatly intensify in the decades to come.
What the fuck are you talking about? Global climate change. mmk.
Unless we nuke the fuck out of each other and cause a nuclear winter,
there's no way we would cause enough of a climate change as to
discourage solar power use.
5. Estimates are that about 20 percent of US land area would be required to support a solar energy system that would supply less than one-half of our current energy consumption. To develop such a system would require phenomenal level of investment and new infrastructure. This land requirement can be expected to diminish arable (food producing), pasture, and forest lands to some extent, with the most critical loss being arable land.
[I] This is the one I'm going to cut him slack on. The true answer would
be to set up huge fields of solar panels in the middle of the Sahara to
harvest the best amount of sun. However, who (beside someone like Bush)
would risk pissing off the Arabs by threatening their chokehold on the
American economy? It's be morally wrong to force the solar energy
system, and reasoning with them would be close to impossible because
of how much weaker they'd be. (By the way, I realize that the Middle
East and the middle of Africa are 2 entirely different places, with different
people, but I guarantee OPEC would get bitchy all the same.)
The man definitely has a point, and I'm not arguing that we need to take
action. I just don't like his "bend over and kiss our asses goodbye"
attitude. We're far from out of the race.

some jew's claim 4 million people died at auschewitz, while other jews (who are of course labled self hating) place the number slightly under a million. that's quite a difference.

05-14-2004, 04:36 PM
THE WHOLE THING IS BULLSHIT..STAGED..LIKE THE REST OF THE VIDEOS FROM BEFORE....PSYOPS...DON'T FALL FOR IT..
ASK YOURSELF SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS:
(Warning: Parts of the following discussion contain rather sickening references.)
Arab linguists have said the man posing as the Jordanian Zaraqawi did not speak with a Jordanian dialect. Others have suggested the man reading the written statement may not have been a native speaker of Arabic.
Zaraqawi was missing one leg and had been outfitted with an artificial leg that did not fit or function properly. He was unable to walk or stand normally with his ill-fitting limb. No man in the group showed evidence of such an infirmity.
Numerous indigenous sources have said Zaraqawi was killed by a US helicopter attack months ago when he was unable to move quickly enough to escape the targeted house. While others managed to exit the house in time to survive, he died in the collapsed building.
As any surgeon will testify, the alleged beheading was a fake. A beheading would result in a tremendous amount of spurting blood. There would have been blood everywhere had an actual beheading taken place. When the executioner holds up Berg's head immediately following what is represented as an actual decapitation of a living person, there is no significant blood flow from the neck or blood splatters showing anywhere on the executioner. Furthermore, the cut was simply too neat to have been done crudely and with such amazing speed by a man wielding a knife. Anybody who has ever carved a turkey knows there is something wrong with the supposed beheading. The suspended head looks more like Berg had been neatly beheaded by a guillotine.
The orange jumpsuit was standard US military issue to men in custody. It is unlikely Berg would have continuing wearing a US custodial uniform if he had been released by the military as they claim. The fact he was still wearing the suit is both anomalous and suggestive. One is forced to speculate as to whether there was an immediate transfer of Berg from the US military to unknown persons, thusly preventing Berg from discarding his US prison garb.
Several of the men in the film were fat by Iraqi standards. If they were Feyadeen or mujahadeen, they probably have been living underground since the first days of the occupation. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been shown on news stories as they have marched and demonstrated. One would be hard pressed to point out a single fat man among these thousands.
Some men had what can only be described as pasty-white hands. Once again, one would be hard pressed to find Arab men with pasty-white hands.
The lack of spurting blood suggests Berg was already dead at the time of the alleged decapitation. It is possible Berg's dead body was displayed with his head already partially or totally severed. In any case, he almost certainly was killed before the staged beheading. If so, it suggests the captors had no stomach for an actual beheading of a living person, and they opted to fulfill their assignment quietly and with the least amount of gore.
The scream that is heard has been interpreted as a woman's scream by many viewers. Videotape cognoscenti have further said the scream was amateurishly added to the tape.
The U.S. government translation of one statement made on the film is: "Does al Qaeda need any further excuses?" This is a falsification. The actual statement urged fellow insurgents to get off their hind ends and do something. One assumes the translator being used by the US military is a native speaker of Arabic, so this cannot be explained as an innocent flub. This suggests the US government wanted to inject an alleged al- Qaeda group into the murder of Nick Berg.
Iraqis who have seen the videotape on Arabic news broadcasts are universally saying the men in the film are not Iraqis. Are they saying this partly because the speaker does not employ an Iraqi dialect? Where does their certainty come from?
Firearms experts have stated the AK-47 carried by one man was a "Gilal." This actually is an Israeli-made weapon that improves on the famous AK- 47. Feyadeen and other insurgents almost universally use AK-47s.
The man in the videotape who is purported to be Zarqawi is wearing a gold ring. This is absolutely proscribed by Islamic law.
The US military has stated that Berg was never in US custody and that he had been in custody of the Iraqi police. The Iraqi police adamantly deny he was ever in their custody. On April 1, an e-mail from Beth A. Payne, the U.S. consular officer in Iraq, was sent to the family of Nick Berg. It stated that Ms. Payne had located Nick, and he was currently in custody of the US military. We have to conclude that either the email was bogus or the US military has been lying.
The chair that Berg was seated in during the filming was a standard issue military chair of the exact same kind as seen in a color photo taken at the Abu Ghraib Prison. The chances a terrorist cell would be using this same chair are minimal at best.
Everything was going South _ deservedly so _ and the Bush Administration needed help.
Enter poor Nick Berg.
Nick Berg was a telecommunications contractor who went into Iraq to "help". But he and his family were not unknown to US authorities.
On March 7, 2004, an 'enemies' list of anti-war groups and individuals was posted on the Free Republic.
Among those listed was this entry: "Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc." That's Nick Berg's father, Michael who acts as business manager for his son in their family radio communications firm, Prometheus Methods Tower Service.
Just days after "Michael Berg" and "Prometheus Methods Tower Service" had come up on that Iraq war 'enemies' list, his son Nick Berg returned to Iraq under the business name of Prometheus Methods Tower Service.
Nick was detained, first by Iraqi police, then for 13 days by the United States military in Iraq. He was in US custody and admittedly questioned by the FBI 3 separate times. They would not release him _ nor press charges _ nor let him speak to an attorney.
He was a "terrorist sympathizer" and detained in a US orange jumpsuit (like those in Guantanamo) and put in a cell with Syrians and Iraqis.
Yet they now claim Nick Berg was NEVER in US custody. Oh really?
To back its claims that Berg was in U.S. custody, the family gave The Associated Press copies of e-mails from Beth A. Payne, the U.S. consular officer in Iraq.
"I have confirmed that your son, Nick, is being detained by the U.S. military in Mosul. He is safe. He was picked up approximately one week ago. We will try to obtain additional information regarding his detention and a contact person you can communicate with directly,'' Payne wrote to Berg's father, Michael, on April 1. Payne repeated that Berg was "being detained by the U.S. military'' in an e-mail the same day to Berg's mother, Suzanne.
Frustrated by their inability to find out about their son's whereabouts, The Berg's filed a lawsuit in federal court in Philadelphia on April 5 asserting that their son was being held by the American military in violation of his civil rights.
"His parents contacted our office, the F.B.I., the State Department," said Representative Jim Gerlach, a Republican from Upper Uwchlan Township in Pennsylvania.
Representative Gerlach met with the Berg family on Tuesday. "They got very insufficient information,'' he said. "They felt that they were not getting full answers."
Nick Berg's father, Michael Berg was publicly furious, "I think a lot of people are fed up with the lack of civil rights this thing has caused," he said. "I don't think this administration is committed to democracy."
The Berg's filed a lawsuit in federal court in Philadelphia on April 5. A day later, Nick Berg was released. He contacted his parents and told them that he was coming home. The following day he checked out of his hotel in Baghdad, and disappeared.
At the height of the US torture scandal, Nick Berg's body was "discovered" on Saturday May 8, having reportedly been decapitated the same day by muslim radicals _ specifically Al Queda.
And, almost miraculously, a video appears worldwide showing "Al Queda" in possession of Mr. Berg (somehow still wearing his orange jumpsuit) at which time he is supposedly beheaded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi _ whom Americans claim is Al Queda's lead man in Iraq. Not only does Al Queda record the video, but Zarqawi's name and "signature" appear on it.
Convenient? Oh, and how.

this is the reason smart people don't join the military. - this statement is a broad generalization based on my personal experience and interaction with certain members of the armed forces. it is not meant to apply to everyone who has ever worn a uniform, but it's been a fairly safe assumption for the most part.

i dont know if this sounds childish, or inappropriate....but..
in a way, i think it's a fare trade. Degrade the iraqi prisoners for all the shit those prisoner's did to americans and whoever else they go their hands on. It's funny how everyone/including media, are up in arms about the "injustice" towards those prisoners, but when it comes down to it, if those guys had american prisoners in their hands they'd do a lot worse things then the soldiers are doing to them.
People seem more up in arms about degrading those prisoners then about Berg. At least that's how the media is making it seem.
Somewhat one-sided.. but i'm sure a lot of people will probably disagree with me..

thanx bro,
what always bugs me when i question if something is made up or not, is the simple fact that i cant believe how someone that wants to persuade people can do such a sloppy work.
If its made by pros, why is it so amateur?
seeking
05-14-2004, 07:30 PM
agreed.
you'd think these people would have a little more common sense. i used more caution when creating lies for my mother, so i could sneak out and get high, than it appears they might have for staging this murder.
just to further on what's been said, why would terrorists have him change into a jump suit, even if they had one? what purpose does it serve? what terrorist organization is carrying around extra clothes for their prisoners of war?
why would the video be edited, the way it was, and why would they even have him in a hood? if these guys are going to cut someoens head off to prove a point, they're going to want to do it as gruesomly as possible, which means they're going to want a close up of the guys face, so we can see him screaming. that is the one part of the video that everyone is universally freaked out by. seems to me that watchign his face making that scream would be 100x worse.
i wonder if these ideas will get any kind of play in the media, even the alternative media. i didnt listen to airamerica today, but i highly doubt even al franken would have spent much time discussing the fact that there should have been a whole lot more (ok, any!) blood.
my head hurts.

I agree with cilone.
Also, why is my comment tasteless? Because I said Nick JewBerg? That was a joke, but it also was referring to an American Jew in Iraq trying to make a buck. Damn right there was a strong chance he’ll get executed. What the fuck is the big deal? It’s not even a part of the war. It’s just some insurgents killing an American because they’re pissed. Rightfully pissed. They’ve only killed one civilian in this manner so far; you people who dwell on these sort of things should be thankful for that.
I also think that gfreshsushi’s comment maybe a little out of line. I’ve met some damn smart people in the military (not that my country’s military is even worth speaking of anymore). An army wouldn’t function very well if it was full of dumb people, in my opinion. Also, it is a smart course of action to get paid and get an education at the same time, no?
Then again, I have this stereotype in my head that most Americans are dumb as shit. Also, I’ve related to you guys the story of my Chinese Canadian (with an American citizenship) buddy who got completely brainwashed by the US Army. But fuck, he wasn’t all that smart, man.

I'm just about as confused as you are over this, however the refference made by media here is that the terrorists used the jumpsuit as a pun to the torturing of their prisoners in Guandanamo bay.

i just stumbled on some total HUD-nerd-shit..secret pdf styles:
all from: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB...2/index.htm#hre (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/index.htm#hre)
Document 1
CIA, KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation, July 1963
Part1(p.1-60) (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Kubark%201-60.pdf)
Part2(p.61-112) (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Kubark%2061-112.pdf)
Part3(p.113-128) (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Kubark%20113-128.pdf)
This 127-page report, classified Secret, was drafted in July 1963 as a comprehensive guide for training interrogators in the art of obtaining intelligence from "resistant sources." KUBARK--a CIA codename for itself--describes the qualifications of a successful interrogator, and reviews the theory of non-coercive and coercive techniques for breaking a prisoner. Some recommendations are very specific. The report recommends, for example, that in choosing an interrogation site "the electric current should be known in advance, so that transformers and other modifying devices will be on hand if needed." Of specific relevance to the current scandal in Iraq is section nine, "The Coercive Counterintelligence Interrogation of Resistant Sources," (pp 82-104) ('http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/Kubark%2082-104.pdf') . Under the subheading, "Threats and Fears," the CIA authors note that "the threat of coercion usually weakens or destroys resistance more effectively than coercion itself. The threat to inflict pain, for example, can trigger fears more damaging than the immediate sensation of pain." Under the subheading "Pain," the guidelines discuss the theories behind various thresholds of pain, and recommend that a subject's "resistance is likelier to be sapped by pain which he seems to inflict upon himself" such rather than by direct torture. The report suggests forcing the detainee to stand at attention for long periods of time. A section on sensory deprivations suggests imprisoning detainees in rooms without sensory stimuli of any kind, "in a cell which has no light," for example. "An environment still more subject to control, such as water-tank or iron lung, is even more effective," the KUBARK manual concludes.
Document 2:
CIA, Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual - 1983
Part1(p.1-67) (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Human%20Res%20Exploit%20A1-G11.pdf)
Part2(p.68-124) (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB122/CIA%20Human%20Res%20Exploit%20H0-L17.pdf)
This secret manual was compiled from sections of the KUBARK guidelines, and from U.S. Military Intelligence field manuals written in the mid 1960s as part of the Army's Foreign Intelligence Assistance Program codenamed "Project X." The manual was used in numerous Latin American countries as an instructional tool by CIA and Green Beret trainers between 1983 and 1987 and became the subject of executive session Senate Intelligence Committee hearings in 1988 because of human rights abuses committed by CIA-trained Honduran military units. The manual allocates considerable space to the subject of "coercive questioning" and psychological and physical techniques. The original text stated that "we will be discussing two types of techniques, coercive and non-coercive. While we do not stress the use of coercive techniques, we do want to make you aware of them." After Congress began investigating human rights violations by U.S.-trained Honduran intelligence officers, that passage was hand edited to read "while we deplore the use of coercive techniques, we do want to make you aware of them so that you may avoid them." Although the manual advised methods of coercion similar to those used in the Abu Ghraib prison by U.S. forces, it also carried a prescient observation: "The routine use of torture lowers the moral caliber of the organization that uses it and corrupts those that rely on it…."

05-14-2004, 09:06 PM
ok, wanna know what i think?
1.the screaming DEFINITELY starts before they even touch him, when you can clearly see that his mouth is closed. it's the result of either a problem with encoding (i've had this happen with movies ive downloaded) or bing dubbed (more likely). it's impossible to say for sure. either way, the voice does not sound like a man who is being killed. also, the first incision they make is to the front of the front of the throat. that skin is incredibly thin and easy to cut through. when the knife went through it, there should have been a drastic change in the tone. it should have become a gargling, muted sound. the one that we can hear is very clear and unobstructed. that is not how it would sound. simple anatonmy & physiology will tell you that. also, think of 'faces of death' and all that shit. think of the screams people had on that, then compare it to this. doesn't even come close in intensity.
2.when they tackle him to the floor there is a very clear edit in there, like in cheap movies when it switches between the actor and the stunt double or the dummy. it's not an encoding glitch, it's a flat out change of camera angle. there is absolutely no reason for that what so ever, and it's technologicaly impossible given the timeframe of events. if they wanted to follow the action, they would have tilted the camera 30 degrees, they would not have stopped filming, moved their entire body and camera, then started again, all under 2 seconds? not a chance in hell. anyone that's ever tried to film their friends skating knows there is a 2-3 second delay between start and stop times. not possible.
3.there does appear to be alot of blood on the ground, which is to be expected even if he was freshly dead, BUT, there is not much blood on the guys hand, which is bullshit. the second largest artery in the body, and the closest to the heart (ie: one of the most powerful) is the carotid, which goes up both sides of the neck. there is also the jugular vein, which is one of the largest veins. both of these spurt blood at a very serious rate, and if cut through would expel A LOT of blood. it would be shooting all over the walls, ALL OVER the guys hands, and likely even onto the camera. anyone remember in black hawk down when the guy gets shot in the leg, and they try to clamp the artery, and the blood shoots like a guiser? ok, imagine that, times two, and more powerful. the fact that there is none of that is incredibly alarming, and by alarming, i mean fishy as fuck. the only blood the guy has on his hands is a result of his hand being in direct contact with the skin. thats not how it works.
4.body movement....anyone seen cops (any episode, doesnt matter) when there are 4 cops all tackling one drunk guy, and they can't get him under control? well that's a guy who doesn't want to go to jail. imagine a guy is being murdered. he doesn't put up much of a fight, at all. infact, the only real movement once the angle changes is the guy with the knife trying to get the head off, a task which takes him a while...plenty long enough for the body's fight or flight, autonomous response reactions to kick in. but it doesnt happen. he just screams, with the same open mouth that never moves. just look at the guys shoulders. there is no movement there. no struggling what so ever. no thrashing of the head, nothing. when the camera changes angles, his body is completely straight and almost rigid. it stays in that straightend position the entire time. now i know it's hard to move when you're hand cuffed and being held down by 2 guys, but the ONLY movement, is stemming from the exact locations where the men are holding him, which is not really where the body would move from in that position. if you're lying on your stomach, with your hands cuffed behind your back, you can still move your shoulders and upper arms about very freely. that does not happen once. if someone was attacking your head or face, this would be the part of your body that would be reacting the most violently, yet it doesnt move at all. if you dont believe, lie down on the floor, put your hands behind your back and imagine being in that position. now try to move around and see which parts of you move most freely. it's the upper half of the body.
5. the 'terrorists'. if these guys are hardened, war torn terrorists, who have dedicated their lives to killing americans, then i'm donald fucking duck. the two guys on the ends (the one on the right specifically) are so fucking twitchy and nervous and anxious. if you're a terrorist group at the level of alqaeda, and you're going to carry out something like this, you pick your top guys to be a part of it, as a 'reward'. those dudes were fat, pale, and squirmy. just look at the way they picked at their masks, as if they were 'tichy'. these are people that live, fight and train in 120 degree weather. they wear head wraps all the time because of dust storms. they are not going to worrying about an 'itchy' mask. the fat guy is so fucking figety, it would almost be laughable if this wasn't so grave. finally, right before they cut off the head, when they're all screaming.... does that really sound like the commited yell of a religious fanatic? people put more heart into cheering for their favorite basketball team. think about highschool, and every fight you ever saw. that's how mass violent actions look. this thing looked premeditated and phony as fuck. it's like a movie filled with bad actors who aren't quite sure what their 'motivation' is. muslims pray to mecca 5 times a day, every single day. 'allah akbar' is more than second nature to them, yet they appear to shout it in the video like it was being read off a teleprompter. it's just not natural in the way it would be if they were really hardcore terrorists.
i won't even get into the theories about the chair being military issue, the guns possibly being israeli models, the fact that the fat guy appeared to be wearing white tennis shoes, or that nick was wearing a us military style prisoner uniform. those things are all kind of secondary to the medical, physical, technical and theological issues.

In the wake of Berg's gruesome murder, the past link to Moussaoui seems a stranger-than-fiction coincidence — an American who inadvertently gave away his computer password to one suspected al Qaeda operative is later murdered by another notorious al Qaeda operative, Zarqawi.
The slain man's father, Michael Berg, told reporters that his son met Moussaoui while riding the bus to classes, and had allowed the suspect to use his computer.
But the 2002 FBI interview could explain the bureau's interest in Berg while he was detained by authorities in Iraq shortly before the militants kidnapped and killed him.

i don't think my comment was out of line at all. people who enlisted for an 8-year stint, with about 3-4 years of active duty, then a few more kicking around waiting for an honorable discharge, need our support to go back and keep fighting? it's their job, and they chose to sign up for it, for better or worse. those who support the war and the soldiers fighting it aren't picky about who they cheer on. i am anti-military, and seeing as how i have had absolutely ZERO positive experiences with members of the military, my opinion is biased. my opinion is also biased because everyone i know (including family members) who has enlisted has been a giant fucking idiot. i am directly quoting my cousin, who enlisted in the navy straight out of high school: "i joined the navy because i was tired of thinking for myself." as i stated, this is my opinion, based upon my experiences.

Nice analysis seeks.....
And gfresh: I'm in the military. I might be stupid but I'm not an idiot.
I'll tell ya that pre 911 most kids joined the military cause they had nothing going for them. Like myself. Post 911 we got a few boy scouts but mostly we are here because it's an opportunity we don't have otherwise because we are mostly poor and disenfranchised. I've seen studies done by the military showing that most people in the military come from poor and disenfranchised states as well. Some of us got the go to war or go to jail line from a judge. I guess we are essentially paid mercenaries.
Okay there are alot of idiots in the military. But we are not ALL idiots. Iq generally varies by MOS (Military Occupational Specialty). I say generally because it's not absolute. It's a commonly known fact in the military that combat arms MOS' are generally crazy dumb fucks we lovingly refer to as bullet sponges. But even some people in Military Intelligence are crazy dumbfucks. So yeah it's not absolute but it seems to be thematic. I scored high enough on the ASVAB without even studying to qualify for every job except for some shit with satellites. I wanted to be 33W which is electronic warfare but there were only 12 slots available per year for that so I didn't get it. Or MI.... I wound up turning monkey wrenches. Oh well it's cool I guess. Got some job skills outta it.

5. the 'terrorists'. if these guys are hardened, war torn terrorists, who have dedicated their lives to killing americans, then i'm donald fucking duck. the two guys on the ends (the one on the right specifically) are so fucking twitchy and nervous and anxious. if you're a terrorist group at the level of alqaeda, and you're going to carry out something like this, you pick your top guys to be a part of it, as a 'reward'. those dudes were fat, pale, and squirmy. just look at the way they picked at their masks, as if they were 'tichy'. these are people that live, fight and train in 120 degree weather. they wear head wraps all the time because of dust storms. they are not going to worrying about an 'itchy' mask. the fat guy is so fucking figety, it would almost be laughable if this wasn't so grave. finally, right before they cut off the head, when they're all screaming.... does that really sound like the commited yell of a religious fanatic? people put more heart into cheering for their favorite basketball team. think about highschool, and every fight you ever saw. that's how mass violent actions look. this thing looked premeditated and phony as fuck. it's like a movie filled with bad actors who aren't quite sure what their 'motivation' is. muslims pray to mecca 5 times a day, every single day. 'allah akbar' is more than second nature to them, yet they appear to shout it in the video like it was being read off a teleprompter. it's just not natural in the way it would be if they were really hardcore terrorists.
i won't even get into the theories about the chair being military issue, the guns possibly being israeli models, the fact that the fat guy appeared to be wearing white tennis shoes, or that nick was wearing a us military style prisoner uniform. those things are all kind of secondary to the medical, physical, technical and theological issues.
So what trying to say here is that the movie is bull shit?
Dude they identified the body, they buried the body(without a head)
I think they would of known how he was killed.
I dont think this movie is bullshit, Dont go into to detail how there wasnt enough blood. How else do you think this guy died?

So I guess you think that every forensic examiner is some kind of angel and not swayed by bribes and or threats? Perhaps not even complicit? What about JFK? It's not the first time some shit like this happened.

But I think that video is real, even though my winamp was playing it with delayed audio and with a blue tint.

It's not just the quality of the video, although that is also questionable. I think the most striking thing is how the fuck did he go straight from US custody to "al queda" custody?

Perhaps we’ll never know. I can’t keep tabs on what’s going on over here, let alone what may be going on half a world away. I haven’t read into all this 'conspiracy' stuff; I’ll let the press handle that for me.

i think it would be kind of obvious if they found a headless
man i think they would have known how it was done. Plus a family member would have to identify the body and i dont think his wife, mother etc is going to fake his sons/husbands death.

are you fucking mentally retarded? oh my god youre so fucking stupid that i almost cant stand it.
read carefully...no one is saying that this dude isnt dead, or that his head wasnt EVENTUALLY cut off. all the conspiracy shit thats being discussed here is pointing out how whoever cut his head off isnt who is being blamed for it, AND that its possible that he was already dead when his head was cut off.
yea "dont go into detail about how there wasnt enough blood" because that might actually be realistic evidence that the guy was dead before his head was cut off.
where do you children come from?

DOES ANYONE REALISE THAT JOHN BERG'S TREATMEAT WAS HUMANE AS FAR AS MURDERS GO??? GETTING SHOT TO DEATH IN ANYWHERE BUT THE BRAIN IS SLOWER...AND PROBABLY MORE PAINFUL
DONT GET ME WRONG, MURDER IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO, BUT HIS MURDER WAS QUICK..THE MOTIVES FOR HIS DEATH WERE MORE PURE AS OPPOSED TO TO JUST PERVERTED SLEF GRATIFICATION.
JUDGING BY HIS FACE HE WAS NOT BEATEN OR TORTURED. HE WAS GIVEN THE LUXURY OF A QUICK DEATH. SOMETHING MANY IRAQIS HAVE NOT AFFORDED. HIS KILLING LASTED A FEW PAINFUL AND IMMENSELY SCARY SECONDS BUT IT WAS NUMBED BY SHOCK...

Do you have selective vision white ox? I have a homework assignment for you. Read the whole thread and then post. It might make more sense.
You do have a point about it being a humane death though. If that was even all queda that did it.
