Dad of beheaded American blasts Bush, Rummy

Reuters:

The father of an American civilian beheaded in Iraq accused President Bush and the U.S. media Tuesday of ignoring the 'horrible face of war.'

'People like George Bush and (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld don't see the pain that people have to bear -- they don't know what it feels like to have your guts ripped out,' Michael Berg told a news conference.

The decapitated body of Berg's son Nick was found by a roadside in Baghdad and a grisly video of his beheading was posted on an Islamist Web site in May.

'What I'm trying to do is show to the American people and the British people ... that war has a wretchedly horrible face,' said Berg's father.
