Berg decapitation video a fake

[miriam_e]

patchworkkid recently asked if "normal" media sources have analysed the possibility of the Berg decapitation video being a fake. In my reply I mistakenly thought he meant that Berg wasn't really decapitated. Now I know what he meant.

It looks like the video was created to enhance hatred of the Muslims and divert attention from Western mistreatment of prisoners. Another dirty deed that will blow up in the faces of the perpetrators.

At least it is reassuring that the bad guys are so damn stupid.

I agree, much more balanced I didn't feel like I was reading something written by a complete nutcase. Still, I'd prefer to see it on (US) network news or in a major (non tabloid) newspaper.

You won't. Anything like that is likely to get the newspaper in fairly serious hot water from the government.
