I've seen a video of a guy getting his hand cut off in one of these middle Eastern countries. They had a rope wrapped around both his forearms and two guys were pulling on them from each direction. A third guy took a saw and basically cut off his hand, very quickly but was a pretty barbaric way of doing things. But that's the way they are, so they seem to use what ever is available.. Hence the use of a knife and not a sword or something.

The thing that stands out to me with this whole Berg case, is the fact that if he was held by the US and for 15 days or two weeks what ever it was. Why did he not get in touch with his family as soon as he was released? It's like he was captured as soon as he was released.
