Bush Expresses "Deep Disgust"

[popcornbird]

Here's what Nicholas Berg's family had to say about the inhumane and brutal killing of their son.......

In an interview with Boston radio station WBUR on Tuesday, Berg's father, Michael, said: "I still hold [Rumsfeld] responsible because if they had let him ago after a more reasonable amount of time or if they had given him access to lawyers we could have gotten him out of there before the hostilities escalated.

"That's really what cost my son his life was the fact that the U.S. government saw fit to keep him in custody for 13 days without any of his due process or civil rights and released him when they were good and ready."

The interviewer asked, "Do you really blame Donald Rumsfeld for your son's death? And will you do anything in addition to that lawsuit you had filed?"

Michael Berg responded, "It goes further than Donald Rumsfeld. It's the whole Patriot Act, it's the whole feeling of this country that rights don't matter anymore because there are terrorists about.

"Well, in my opinion 'terrorist' is just another word like 'communist' or 'witch,' and it's a witch hunt, and this whole administration is just representing something that is not America, not the America I grew up in."

And here's what the United Arab Emirates had to say.........yes Richard. An Arab government condemned the killing.

The United Arab Emirates condemned the beheading as a "heinous crime against the civilized world."

"We are ashamed because these terrorists carried out this revolting and inhumane act in the name of our religion and culture," UAE Information Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan said in a written statement.

"This disgusting brutality can never be justified and has nothing to do with Islam or with our Arab values."

And here's where I got these quotes from....... http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/...erg/index.html

What's interesting is all this time, not a single Arab nation said a word about the humiliation and abuse of the prisoners. The Western countries spoke against it, but the Arab countries didn't say a word. (I'm pointing this out at governments, not the people of the nations) I just found that kinda odd...........This whole thing is so confusing.
