Michael Berg, the farther of Nick Berg who was executed by an Islamist militant group in Iraq, speaks to Robin Young of Here and Now, a radio program on WBUR. Robert H. Reid of the Associated Press reports: In the video of Berg, the executioners said they had tried to trade him for prisoners at Abu Ghraib. 'For the mothers and wives of American soldiers, we tell you that we offered the U.S. administration to exchange this hostage for some of the detainees in Abu Ghraib and they refused,' one of the men read from a statement." Did Bush sacrifice Nick Berg, refusing to negotiate with the hostage-takers, without telling Nick's family?
