Who's the enemy of freedom?

The beheading of Nick Berg is thick in the news today. I can’t seem to make up my mind weather those that took part in this grisly act were opportunists or were truly trying to make a statement about the abuses in Abu Ghraib prison that have recently reported to the public.

Something like this was bound to happen after the abuses were brought to the public. What gets me is that the Bush administration has taken this incident more seriously then it is taking in punishing those involved in the mistreatment of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. So now there’s a new manhunt underway to bring the people involved in beheading Nick Berg to “justice” with that I agree, they should be punished for killing someone.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said. “It shows the true nature of the enemies of freedom. They have no regard for the lives of innocent men, women and children.”

Clearly the administration is fooling themselves, and maybe even some of the country, people in Iraq could just as easily turn that statement on us at the moment. We have invaded a country, and many people have died that weren’t soldiers. So what regard did the innocent men, women, and children receive in Iraq when we were firing ammo their way?
