I didn't want to start yet another political topic, so I have posted this line here, this being the first political topic I could find

If this is true, then any advantage that might have been gained by doubts raised over the Chris Berg video have now been shattered. Fools, to themselves, to their 'beliefs' and to the world.

The pictures and video are already out.  It is.

Then, considering he was wearing an orange jacket as well, much like Nicholas Berg, any doubts I had about his killing are now gone. He was murdered by Terrorists in cold blood, just as this man was. No matter how much I disagree with what America is doing, this is no longer about War or Religion or Oil, it's about race. Terrorists don't care who they kill, Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist, Male or Female, as long as they are from a country which they view as oppressive.
The first killing was an Italian, and now 2 Americans, and no doubt more will follow. That isn't fighting for a voice, or moving against the oppressors. This is racism with a knife, they knew their demands would not be met, they just wanted some kind of 'justification' to mimic the Berg murder.

Charlie White photographs vulnerability.

Using a humanoid puppet he calls "complete fragility manifest in a body," White presents human frailty through a fictional character, much as a novelist might.

As White tells Jacki Lyden for Weekend All Things Considered, his puppet, called Joshua, helps him to explore the themes of male self-image and self-loathing. White places Joshua in a series of vulnerable situations -- at a cocktail party or a lover's house -- and photographs the scene.

Its not about race, its about nationality. Big difference.

Either way, I was angry at the time, but whether it is dressed up as racism or nationism, that difference isn't all that big, they murderered him for where he was born and lived.
