With everyone calling for apologies over cruelties carried out on both sides of the Iraq war, one specific apology seems especially necessary. USA Today and other media outlets who have published detailed, gruesome pictures and video of Nick Berg's decapitation should apologize to the Berg family. Under the guise of "freedom of information," they have sensationalized and exploited this poor young civilian's death. As a mother, I can only imagine the heartache and horror of Nick's own mother, having her son's tragic death displayed in the national media that way.
