Firstly, my condolences again to Berg's family, the families of the hostages held in Guantanamo, Deigo Garcia, and elsewhere, and of course to the people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya, and other war-criminally occupied places and colonised countries.
It's clear to me that when the American people are holding someone in custody, he is "released" into a very dangerous landscape, supposedly on his own, and then turns up dying in an Internet video, there's a lot to be explained.
