Scared, sad ashamed and angry

You can sign up for a free trial to view the video of Nick Berg being beheaded on cnn.com. I cant believe they are capitolizing on this. Well, I guess Im not completely shocked. My dad wanted to view the video, the reason is beyond me. So I looked it up for him, found it on cnn, clicked on the video link and it then directed me to sign up first.

>I dont know much about this war. I've stayed away from as much news as possible after 9/11

...

> What can be done to make things right? What can be done to stop everything?I hate to say it, but one of the most important things that can be done is not staying away from the news, but instead keeping very up to date and reading between the lines on everything you see & hear. You don't have to be evangelical about your politics in the way some of my friends are, but knowing that, for example, the US and UK govts misled their people in the build-up to the war is rather important

"as the vast majority of the broadcast news in the US is very sadly not what it could - or should - be. The US has some of the best journalists in the world, its just a pity they aren't allowed to ply their trade a bit more often."

very true. Also if you want a radio station try 91.3fm talk radio. THey play BBC world news and report facts about the war, nothing crazy or anything.

take care!
