Want to see the image of a murder that is (arguably) even more shocking than the Berg atrocity? Here it is.
You won't hear Sean Hannity talking about this one. You won't hear Rush Limbaugh discuss this tragedy. I doubt that it will get much coverage on Fox News -- or on any American cable news network.
Why? Because the victim was an Iraqi. One of the people we are supposedly liberating.
47-year-old Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel was picked up on an open road by an American unit. They seem to have come under the erroneous impression that he had some connection to the insurgency. He was then tortured to death.
Death is not a sporting event, and few would want to argue about which form of death is the worst. Most people, however, would find a relatively quick beheading preferable to the prospect of being flogged and beaten to death.
Remember: The Red Cross says that 70 percent (or more) of the detainees are innocent. Interrogation is far worse on the innocent than on the guilty, because the innocent cannot end their suffering by delivering information.
Just ask the ghost of Asad Abdul Kareem Abdul Jaleel.
