Michael Berg still blasting Chimpy
LONDON (Reuters) - The father of an American civilian beheaded in Iraq (news - web sites) accused President Bush (news - web sites) and the U.S. media Tuesday of ignoring the "horrible face of war."

"People like George Bush and (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld (news - web sites) don't see the pain that people have to bear -- they don't know what it feels like to have your guts ripped out," Michael Berg told a news conference.


The decapitated body of Berg's son Nick was found by a roadside in Baghdad and a grisly video of his beheading was posted on an Islamist Web site in May.


"What I'm trying to do is show to the American people and the British people ... that war has a wretchedly horrible face," said Berg's father.

1. What, did the Pukes expect
Mr. Berg's anger with this administration was some sort of knee-jerk reaction to his son's death? So much for making Berg a martyr for the war effort.
