I watched the video of the beheading (morbid curiousity overtook me) and it appears as if Nick Berg was already dead when they cut off his head. There are a few reasons I say this:
1. There's almost no blood when they finally do cut off his head. There would have been quite a bit if he was still alive.
2. His body isn't moving or twitching when they lower him to the ground, and he doesn't struggle or flinch.
3. There's a 13 minute jump on the tape between the reading of the statement and when they do cut his head off.
It doesn't change the barbarism of their actions, just something to mention.
I might consider sending the video to people if they're interested, but I will not post it on my website directly. It's still disturbing, even given the above considerations. Mail me at maurice-iraqvideo@mauricereeves.com if you're interested.
In all of this, my heart goes out to the family of Nick Berg for the pain and suffering they'r enduring now. From all accounts I've heard he sounded like a decent, upstanding fellow, and a good person to know. It's a shame when good people have to die.
NONE
