Victor Kattan: On the Execution of Nick Berg

Victor Kattan: On the Execution of Nick Berg: "The last moments of the life of Nicholas Berg raise many interesting, grotesque and thought-provoking issues. It is a demonstration of the power of the internet, and that governments no longer have a monopoly on information. The Americans have underestimated their adversary. They thought the war in Iraq would be a walkover. Certainly, in military terms it was. However the war is not over, and propaganda is part and parcel of this war, as in all wars throughout history, and Berg's captors were only too well aware of that."
