What did they actually say before the beheading?

Why are we not to know the words spoken before those men beheaded Mr. Berg? That is news and should be reported. Does anyone know where transcripts can be found?

1. USA Today sez it says this

One of the men behind Berg in the video read a statement that referred to the "satanic degradation" of Iraqi prisoners and said: "For the mothers and wives of American soldiers, we tell you that we offered the U.S. administration to exchange this hostage for some of the detainees in Abu Ghraib, and they refused. Coffins will be arriving to you one after the other, slaughtered just like this."

2. Thanks

However, the statment was very long and I was wondering what all did they say?

5. Read this corrente entry

regards Zarqawi and whether the speaker said "al qaeda" (apparently he didn't)...

6. What I want to know

is why Berg had on an orange jumpsuit, that looked suspiciously like a US jail jumpsuit.
And why the killers had on ski masks instead of the rags they usually wear on their faces.
Soon we'll all be on the "enemies list" that Nick Bergs' father landed on a few months ago.
