Yes, Daniel Pearl had been Beheaded too. I was Reminded of this while Reading an Article just yesterday.

I've Given Most of my Views on Today's Nick Berg Matter, within the Bin Laden Thread. And so Won't Repeat Many of those particular Ones here.

But there are a Few Loose Ends to Additionally Tie Up. I Wasn't Able to Get to them all, within the 24 Hour Edit Period. And I'd perhaps Like to Contribute to and Comment on some of What's already been Remarked on here. So I'll Get Out my Notes, and See What so Applies.

Briefly and Without Meaning to Sound Preachy, Nor in an Out of Place Distasteful Manner, -This recent occurrance Underscores that *This is Who We're Gonna Have to Fight!* There's Just No Other Way Around it! Are They Yielding the Field?! Are They Wanting to Go Back on Home?! No!, on Both Counts! Resoundingly and Overwhelmingly!

So as Individuals and a Nation, -Let's Duly Get on the Ready! And Be On with the Alert Task and Taking Care of Business here, -that we've Got to Be On To! And Come Over the *Steady Long Term*, to Wrestle this Thing Down!

In All of This, and in the Times to Come, -Just Remember, -(Without our Becoming Improperly Vengeful about it or Anything), -Do Remember the Brutal, Graphic, Unadulterated Things which Came Across regarding Berg, -on that AQ Video.

And Then, Drawing the 2 + 2 = 4 Connection from It, -That This is So Much of What we Fight For!

Berg, Pearl, the Fallujah Four, Those of September 11th, and Many Other Higher and Noble Things. Not the Least Being our Very Freedom, System and Way of Life, Security, Safety, and National Survival!

Now Regarding some of our Other Comments and Observations in this Thread, -I've already Acknowledged One of Them, -Namely of Daniel Pearl's Being *Another* American Be-Heading which has Already Pre-Occurred.

Also, on Many Occassions in Life, -We may be a Little Too Unprepared or Unconcerned *Before* Something Happens! But by the Reverse Side of that Same Coin or Token, -Can *Sometimes* Get Somewhat Over-Concerned, -*After* Something Happens! Though such *After* can also Entail, various Needed Wake Up Calls. So I Think This Bears Out a Lot of What joblot here said.

And I Second Much to All of What Polak said about the "Media Difference".

I'd like to Add to that, the Matter of the Ever Increasing Dangers and Feasability of, -Doctoring and Otherwise Falseably Creating "Photographs"! The Abu Ghraib Photos are Not Such. Nor is the AQ Berg Tape, any Falsified Doctoring. But Many Other "Photos" Increasingly Are! Just an Appropriate Heads Up Warning on That!

Further Edit Note,-They Wouldn't Even Allow the Guy to Have his Hands Free!, -Towards Something of a Fighting Chance!, in a Fair, Self Defense Fight! But Rather Tied Behind his Back! As Someone(s) is Literally Sawing and Knifeing One's Head Off.

They Wouldn't Even Kill Him in a *More* Manly Way! Not that Even That would have been Manly! (It Does Happen to Remind me of What John Wayne has Disdainfully Said, -About Never Shooting a Man in the Back!)

It Also Didn't Take the Statement Reader Long, to Pull Out the Long Knife, Grab Him from Behind by the Hair, and Do What was so Done!

And See the Way those Guys were Fidgeting and Itching Around to Kill!, as the Obligatory Statement was being Read?! Killing, Pure Out Cold Blooded Killing!, was the First and Foremost Thing those "Guys" Had on their Mind!

So They're Both Outright Killers!, *And* Outright Cowards!, -They Most Certainly Are!!!!!

And Zarkawi, the Killer / Statement Reader himself, -If he's Gonna Give his *Name* as the Killer!, ("Slaughterer" in his Own Words), -Then Why Not Take Off the Mask! And Show his Face!? Cowards Again!

In their Mentality and World, Unabashed Killers like That could either be Consolidating a New Position of Leadership in the Terrorist World, or are Vying for It! We of Our Side and Persuasion Should Watch for That! We Must Know our Mortal Enemy, -includeing it's Leadership.

Let's Pretend Terrorism to be Aside for just a Moment! And It's then Clear that we Witnessed an Actual Killing and Murder of Someone! To Say a Very Least!

It's Possible that They Kept Him in the Dark Till the Very End. As Far as their Intention to Actually so Kill / Murder Him! The Read Statement was in Arabic. There's a Good Chance Nick did Not Understand that Language. He may Not Have Known Until the Hand Grabbed his Hair Roughly from Behind, and that Knife was Right at his Neck. Cowards in Many Senses There Too!

I Don't Mean to Sound Sore, Hurt, or Etc, Etc, Etc. And Many of you Know What I've Cautioned, About Pure Revenge upon Revenge being Built Up! But I Do Have to say These Things about What Happened Towards Nick Berg.

And We've Got to Stay Strong, Alert, and In the Fight! Till our Job and Task is Finally Done!
