Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I too would like to raise the issue of the horrific picture of the beheading of Mr. Berg, which was broadcast on international channels. Can our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen, or the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Dermot Ahern, raise this matter at EU level and draw attention to the sensitivity of the pictures and their impact on the public in this country and elsewhere? I had a long discussion on this issue last night and I feel it is the last straw. Will it ever stop? If it is not Americans abusing Iraqis, it is Iraqis abusing Americans. It must stop and we cannot let it continue. This should be conveyed to the highest powers to whom it can be conveyed. Will the Leader do something about it because it is just too much?
