See below for ABC news release. Bush described the beheading as a “brutal execution” … well there is an insight that demands massive intellect. He then goes on to accuse the executioners of being mindless!
Walter Wink says that when we use violence, and means of domination, to “transform” the other then we actually become that which we are trying to dominate (is that mindless AND brutal and NOT free?). There’s no doubt in my mind that the biggest terrorist in the world is Bush and his foot soldiers (re abuses to Iraqi prisoners) reflect the dark reality Bush seems to so unwittingly (mindlessly perhaps!) be fostering.
I’d say the only people who can’t see it are Americans (not all presumably).

*No justification for beheading: Bush*
US President George W Bush says there is no justification for the beheading of an American citizen in Iraq or footage of the execution being released on the Internet by a militant Islamic group.
Nicholas Berg was working in Iraq as a freelance contractor.
He was beheaded by a group of terrorists, who said they were retaliating for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison.
US President George W Bush has described Mr Berg's killing as a brutal execution and says it shows the nature of America's foes.
"Yet by their actions, they were mindless of how desperately parts of the world need free societies," he said.
He says those who murdered Nicholas Berg hope to shake America's will, but vowed his nation would continue its mission in Iraq.
