You have something in common,

You have something in common, too. You're both black.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrilla group
condemned Wednesday the beheading of an American hostage by Iraqi
militants as an ugly crime that flouted the tenets of Islam. "Hizbollah
condemns this horrible act that has done very great harm to Islam and
Muslims by this group that claims affiliation to the religion of mercy,
compassion and humane principles," the Shi'ite Muslim group said in a
statement.


But wait, there's more...

Hizbollah said Berg's killing had diverted the world's gaze
from an escalating furor over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by
occupation soldiers. "The timing of this act that overshadowed the
scandal over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in occupation forces prisons
is suspect timing that aims to serve the American administration and
occupation forces in Iraq and present excuses and pretexts for their
inhumane practices against Iraqi detainees."
