Right Wing Raising Issue of Beheading of American Nick Berg Again and Again

In the past 24 hours, when I've had little time to read or watch news, I've still managed to hear the execution of Nicholas Berg invoked more than a dozen times, mostly by people who are working on the Bush-Cheney re-election team.

Considering the men they're trying to re-elect set up the conditions by which Nick went to that country, and responsible for the growth of violence since, I would not employ this as a point in favor of giving Mr. Bush a second term. Beyond that, it's patently indecent. Decency, however, is not that crew's strong suit, all their rhetoric to the contrary aside.
