It is now being alleged that the masked men attempted to negotiate a trade between the insurgents and the officials at Abu Ghraib. They said if the US would release some of the prison detainees they would release Berg. <br><br>Mmmmmh.<br><br>If this story proves to be true then all I can say is this is an indictment on the Office of the Secretary of State for failing Berg.<br><br>Although I have empathy for Berg's family, it begs to question: Is the allure of money so great that individuals would jeopardize their lives and subject their families and loved ones to this kind of abuse? <br><br>What the f*ck was Berg doing in Iraq? I can understand how independent contractors would and could operate below the radar and would receive passport and visa endorsements from the state department, permitting travel in and out of Iraq, but I'll bet not before signing a release form, absolving the state department of any future incriminations.<br><br>I am sorry but any civillian who knowingly goes to Iraq who isn't working with, and under the protection of the US government is a fool.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue] “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” Samuel Johnson</font color=blue>
how would you feel if you were in the place of those Iraqis prisioners? and someome by force you in some sexual positions with other mens with out your approval? ....Why the pictures and videos of iraqis prisoners in sexual positions where the MP make fun of them? just because in that moment the US soldiers had the power and the iraqis not... This is not a excuse of the murder of a human being. I totally reject the murder of inocent people but I also reject the abuse and making fun of POWs!!!!<br><br>I think what this world needs is TOLERANCE... tolerance is the key for achiving peace. And TOLERANCE is needed in huge amounts!! <br><br>this is my last reply to one of your posts, because I think that your posts do not add nothing to this forum. I think HATE is not the solution. Personally, I have being reading a lot to overcome hate and be more open to others. I recommend you the same... Also, I recommened you the Movie " American History X" and as a qoute for that movie "Life is too short to be pissed all the time. " by Daniel "Danny" Vinyard.<br><br> I prefer to watch differente channels of news, like bbc or other news channels to be informed and do not read your posts. <br><br>Also, I will continue to make simple and no-important posts or if you like to call them stupid posts in this forum, because I enjoy it and I have fun<br><br>%-) <--- me?

I for one welcome your posts, which are often very informative and sometimes very funny.<br><br>And I agree with your idea--tolerating, or even better, welcoming others is the only solution to the problems of this world.<br><br>And I also agree that two wrongs do not make a right.<br><br>So keep on posting!<br><br>

Say what you want. Post what you want. I don't care. If you're over coming anger, good for you. You win a cookie. <br>I don't lose sleep if you add to a thread or not. But you have a pretty high opinion of yourself, that's clear. In the same breath you make a value judgment saying that my posts don't add anything to the forum, then turn around and say the you will continue to make "simple and no-important posts". Make up your mind. Yeah, my posts don't add anything to the forum. That's why this one has over 400 views and 55 replies. <br><br>You want to talk about the topic, knock yourself out. You want to talk about me, put a sock in your pie hole. <br><br>I've noticed that there are two kinds of people on this forum. Some accept the opinions of others and voice their views without feeling the urge to change everyone else's mind. Then there are those who spout tolerance in a never ending spew and the moment they meet someone that doesn't agree with them, all that tolerance talk suddenly goes out the window and they spit insults, tell you everything that's wrong with you, and why they dislike or hate you. <br><br>Unlike these two faced people, I'm honest about what I say. I can respect that someone disagrees with me. You don't see me calling them a dumb ass.<br><br>What prompted you to post your self important views about the value of what I have to say is a mystery to me. I don't even remember saying anything about you being 'stupid'. <br><br>But I've had a very long day, and you got me on a day when I just don't feel like putting up with you. So, go back to your BBC, your books and moves. You bore me.<br><br>"You're off the edge of the map, mate! Here there be monsters!"
