あー
俺もだｗ
で、今回ビデオカメラの前で首を斬り落とされたアメリカ人もやっぱり「自己責任」（で米政府は一切気にかける必要はなし）って日本のみんなは思ってんの？（オイロニュースで首斬る直前の映像が何度も流れてて見るたびゾッとする。）
ついでだからＮＹＴの記事の事実関係の部分をリンク。（なにやらややこしい事情がありそうなかんじ。）
Mr. Berg's death came amid a surge in the number of foreigners killed and kidnapped here in recent days. On Tuesday, one Russian worker at a power plant was killed, and two were taken hostage, after an ambush south of Baghdad.
Also on Tuesday, a civilian American supply convoy was attacked near the town of Rutba, about 75 miles from the Jordanian border. There were conflicting reports on whether any drivers were missing.
Mr. Berg was in Iraq from Dec. 21 to Feb. 1, then returned in March, according to an interview with his parents published last week in The Philadelphia Inquirer after he was reported missing.
During his second trip, he was arrested by the Iraqi police while riding in a taxi at a checkpoint in the northern city of Mosul, his family said in the article.
The family, who said they were in almost daily contact with their son, did not hear from him until March 31, when F.B.I. agents visited their home and told them that he was in an Iraqi jail. The agents also asked, an agency spokesman said later, what he was doing in Iraq.
On April 5, the family filed a federal suit claiming that Mr. Berg was being held illegally by the United States military in Iraq. On April 6, he was released, his family said, and began making plans to return home.
A senior F.B.I. official said Tuesday that Mr. Berg had indeed been taken into custody by the local Iraqi police as part of a broad sweep of a number of people. The reason for his incarceration was not clear, but the official stressed that "he was never in U.S. custody ? he was in local custody."
F.B.I. agents stationed in Iraq interviewed him while he was in Iraqi custody to determine why he was in the country and the circumstances of his arrest, the official said. "He was just there on business, and that was it," the official said.
現地人の協力が得られず情報がとれない→米軍側もどんなことしてでも情報とらないと自分の命が危ないから民間人の拷問でもなんでもやる→それがますますイラクの人を怒らせる。（上の記事によると当該ビデオで「アブグレイド刑務所に捕らえられてるイラク人との交換を要求したが断られたので殺す。」といってるそうな。）
憎悪の連鎖反応でもう泥沼ですね。。
ちなみに拷問については神浦氏は以下のように書いてる。
アブグレイド刑務所で虐待や拷問を行ったものは、日常から性的に異常なものではなく、あくまで軍の特殊な尋問方法をレクチャーされただけの兵士なのである。しかしその効果に驚き、収集した情報を示して情報部員の満足な顔に喜び、さらに使命感を高まらせている普通の兵士の姿である。
あと、いつもながら陰謀論臭いが田中宇さんの記事もリンクしとく。（英国軍も拷問しててブレアが謝ったというのはしらなんだ。）
ちゅーかさー、ゲリラ戦やってんだから民間人の拷問ぐらい普通するよな。裸にして目隠しして自尊心を奪うってのは標準的な手法なんでしょ？（そのへん納得した上で戦争賛成なのかと思いきやマニュエルも「あれはまずい」と顔を顰めてて、どーもガイジンの人権感覚というのは良く分からん。）
そして何度でも書くが日本は占領軍の一員としてそこに軍隊を出している。私は反対だ。
