Reply #27: i'm sorry, but perkel is an idiot.

that isn't US issue prison garb -- that's a womens silk pajama set. the poor bastard was kidnapped by a bunch of half-wits who like to play jailhouse with mommy's night clothes.

and it's a bunch of stereotypical crap to believe that all "arabs" are skinny, don't wear gold and don't wear tennis-shoes. is this a joke? am i missing out on something?



and since when did bullet proof vests start to look like ammo pouches? Notice a lack of protection of vital areas that bullet proof vests were specifically designed for?

and to further deepen the "me-not-getting-the-joke" bit, is iraq on the international white plastic chair blacklist? can no two walls in a video or photo be kinda close to being the same color? is it against islamic law to have the wrong time on one of your camcorders? can a beheading only be captured on one camcorder? can a valid beheading only occur when the person is still alive? are iraqi goons strictly forbidden from having access to video editing software and an internet connection?

I'm all for talking about how messed up it was that berg was in a US jail for 13 days and was subsequently captured by these goons because of it -- but pointing out silly things in a videotape is just going to make us look silly. i've even brought up some of the errors to a co-worker to enlighten him on some of the differing takes on the situation. his reply says it all: "what? the guy got his head chopped off, how does any of that make a difference?"

But hey, god bless perkel for hosting bartcop.
