This maybe old news to you, but I just read this.

-From CNN-

Berg's body arrived Wednesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. His parents had requested permission to be at the base when the coffin arrived, but that request was denied. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, said Thursday that refusal came from the Department of Defense.

Is this insensitive? Or, am I overreacting? How come Nicolas Berg's parents were denied the right to enter on Dover Air Force Base to recover their son's body?

1. because they might take pictures

2. I wonder if they'll be billed?

3. We'll hear more from Mr. Berg. He seems very outspoken

not letting him pick up his son is adding fuel to the fire. That might have been one reason to refuse his request. He already spoke up against Bush and said that it is Bush's fault that his son died.

The more I hear about the whole case, the more suspicious I get.

4. Gods, how I loathe this government.

There are no words to express the unfathomable bottom to which this cabal of criminals has sunk, and taken our country with them. The point of no return is upon us.

5. Autopsy. The government probably plans to do its own "autopsy"

Paging Dr Mengele for operation cover-up.

On edit: Thanks for posting because this is the first I've heard of that.

6. of all the things

what would it have cost anyone to let those people pick up their child?

7. Because a democracy doesn't care about it's people. obviously

8. the junta doctors

have to mess with the body to make it fit their cover story first
