Recent Events in Iraq

I haven’t been involved in many non-aviation topics as of late, but this recent string of events in Iraq (i.e. the killing of Nick Berg as well as the Abu Ghraib prison scandal) causes me to ask a few questions because I’m curious about reactions from people in other countries.

My first question is what do you make of the Nick Berg murder, and do you think that it would never have happened if the prison scandal had never occurred?

Secondly, do you feel sorry for the prisoners involved in the prison scandal?

Finally, what’s your opinion of the apparent lack of coverage from Arab media, and the lack of condemnation by Arab leaders?
