West Chester, PA, where Nicholas Berg's parents live, is my county seat. The courthouse is less than a half hour's drive from here. It's a relatively small community compared to Philadelphia, which is a little further in the opposite direction. Governor Rendall sent his condolences.
In case you're wondering (because I had to go looking to find out), yes, Nicholas Berg was Jewish. While his Al-Qaeda murderers didn't choose to emphasize that point on their video the way they did with Daniel Pearl, they really didn't have to, did they?
Today (yesterday, actually) has been a little too much. I believe I may need to take a few days off and try to sort out how to deal with the world I find myself living in. Then again, the likelihood of my keeping my mouth shut that long is slim.
