I don't see U.S. troops dragging P.O.W.s into a news conference and threatening to kill them if certain demands aren't met. There is a difference.

I know someone who saw the Berg beheading off the Interent. I didnt see the video, nor do I wish to see it. He said that it was not a clean killing, that is, not a swift beheading like with a guillotine or an axe. He said they used pocket knives, they kind you bring along when you going camping. They really had to work hard to cut his head off. You could distinctly hear the spinal cord snapping after being cut. Just listening to the description of how they did it made me sick. Its a new weapon of terror. No one should ever have to die like that.
