After seeing the 'unknown russian solider' video, i do believe he was dead before decapitation (due to lack of blood). But even so, its still very wrong. They found Berqs body didnt they? Surley they would be able to test whether he was dead before decapitation?
Well, I'm sure they could. Whether they would want to is another matter. Given that this video was quite useful propaganda for the coalition, I doubt they'd be in any hurry to dismiss it. Sam PS and before someone starts, no, Im not saying that the coalition made the video
Strange as it may seem but half or so replies are 'bout state of dead or alive human being during the "act". As if it matters a lot. As if you guys here are all lawers with some big numbers defendant on capital murder/mutilating a corpse deal. Like you all are decapitato pro-s - so many technical details on beheading - you shoulda start new topic in Forums on Torture right next to Exams one. Try to feel 0,00000000001 % of Nick Berg's or "unknown Russian soldier" fear and state of mind at the moment and you'll never start your silly childish profusely talking on the topic. As my teacher of English told me smts "Bad, Andy. Sit down and shame on you". Peace and such and take care.
Whilst I agree to an extent with your post, dont you think if he was dead when the video was taken then he probably wouldnt have been very scared? Sam
I don't know. He could have been asleep or unconcious or drugged or anything. A whole load of assumptions and presumptions, quite frankly, is not going to get us anywhere. I was merely pointing out the flawed logic in the previous post! Sam
