CNN poll

Is the Berg killing a reason for withholding any remaining Iraq prisoner abuse pictures?

Yes No

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/12/iraq.berg/index.html
____________________

That they even ask the question is like saying "the Berg killing IS a reason for withholding any remaining Iraq prisoner abuse pictures".

CNN's promotion of the idea is disturbing.




_____________________also - in the article....

"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 then 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."
