Welcome!
Muchas gracias Sunshine55 - nice to finally post. Usually I just freep to research the best news links,...but this Berg thing has been too weird to stay silent on.
I agree. I've seen the type, like the brilliant musician who can't play in any ensemble. He cannot listen to anyone else,accomodate anyone else, yet always seeking to fit, venturing further and further out to find it. The weight lifting is interesting, the apparent self-confidence somehow seems significant, in contrast with his naivete. Lots of layers here. I doubt he was a traitor, as others suggest.
There is a very weird opinion piece by Nick's father in today's Guardian(UK). The man is very ill--He blames Bush for not having looked into his son's eyes and praises his son's killers, saying they did and that they undoubtedly had learned what a wonderful person he was, and felt his breath on their hands as they beheaded him..Beyond mad..
Yeah the elder Berg is nuts. Unfortunately for him, I think Nick came by his poor decision making skills honestly...
