You beat me to it....30 minutes ahead of time

We put undies on the Iraqi's head in true American fashion, they could cut his hair and give him a shave...

I'll be the first to admit that I don't watch the news. I just learn about current events through osmosis, so half the time I have no idea what's going on.

I was thinking the same thing for a second, but he was in a POW camp since april, right? Would they let him keep up his grooming ritual?

Berg's father said his son was Jewish and had a fringed religious cloth with him, but he did not think Berg wore the clothing in public. Still, "there's a better chance than not that they knew he was Jewish," Michael Berg said. "If there was any doubt that they were going to kill him that probably clinched it, I'm guessing."

Notice the shaved head and all that extra weight in the before pic.

Pun intended?

An assessment of the video showing Berg's death concludes it is a "high probability" al-Zarqawi is the hooded speaker who is shown decapitating Berg, the CIA official said....Al-Zarqawi, a 37-year-old Jordanian native, has a $10 million reward on his head.

Angry Grrr...losers

DJs who laughed at beheading are fired

PORTLAND - The radio station KNRK at 94.7 FM is issuing an apology to its listeners after talk show hosts Marconi, Tiny and sidekick Nickie J. laughed at and ridiculed the beheading of American Nick Berg.

The three were fired Thursday afternoon, after airing the audio recording of Berg's murder repeatedly on Wednesday and laughing at the incident.
