An Interview with Mr Berg
Bill at InDC Journal continues to impress with his great posts. Today he
writes of his attendance at an International ANSWER rally against the war, and his opportunity to interview Michael Berg, the father of the young man who was beheaded by Al Qaeda operatives in Iraq.
Interestingly, Mr Berg finds the time to express anger at the Bush Administration for violating his son's civil rights, and for NOT violating his son's civil rights:
"These men purposely sped up their hate train when they saw Nick lying on the track, however, I have to hold the Bush administration accountable for denying my son his civil rights for the 13 days of his illegal detention. If they were going to take illegal action, instead of violating the heart of the Constitution of the United States of America, why didn’t they just illegally deport him from Iraq and let us prove who he was at home? Their callous behavior, in effect, tied him to the track until it was no longer possible to escape that speeding hate train."
Just as a note, the official story is that Nick Berg was held by Iraqi authorities, although he was interviewed by the FBI while in custody.
