How Precious, Life!
If I were to buy an American on the open market, how much do you think it would cost? Well, if I bought him from the US government, it might run me as much as $10 million. That's how much Nick Berg was worth. Iraqis and others of the dark races give you far more bang for the buck. Actually, not even a buck. "In April, an Iraqi civilian was beaten to death by US soldiers in the primarily Shi'ite city of Kut. The Iraqi reportedly refused to take down a photo of Muqtada al-Sadr, from the window of his car," Pacifica reported. I don't think anyone offered as much as a half a pre-occupation Iraqi dinar for the life of this poor chap. But alas, the cameras weren't rolling.
