Just random speculation here, but I am wondering if there is some kind of connection between the arrest of the white Muslim lawyer in Portland Saturday and the discovery of Peter Berg's body on Saturday in Iraq.

The lawyer, Brandon Mayfield, was taken into custody because his fingerprint was identified on a shopping bag of detonators in Madrid just after the series of synchronized bombings on trains back on March 11. The detonators were activated by cell phones. This is a common ploy used by Al Quaeda lately, especially in simultaneous bomb attacks in a city - a similar series rocked Casablanca, Morocco last May. The majority of the many suspects in the Madrid attack are Moroccan Muslims.
Nick Berg was in Iraq supposedly to set up some kind of cell phone service there. When I read "cell phone" I immediately thought of the terrorist attack tactic. Who funded this trip of his, and did he have any equipment or technology with him? Who would he seek out to be partners or clients?

Interesting questions, Val. Who knows? Seems that he was freelancing, but I haven't heard anything about any equipment he might have had with him.

This whole Berg incident is getting more weird all the time.

I want to know why the big discrepancy on the time stamps on the video.. (13 hours and not all in order on the still frames?) and why doesn't it look like him at all? Was that really Berg, or someone else?

Stranger by the minute..

Oh.. and why did his Dad say that they didn't realize that they had killed a good friend?????

This guy is a flake he is all over the place!

PHILADELPHIA - (KRT) - The day he buried his son, Nick Berg's father angrily lashed out at President Bush - and said he had a question for him:

. "I would like to ask him if it's true that al-Qaeda offered to trade my son's life for another person," Michael Berg told a small group of reporters early Thursday morning outside his West Chester home.

"And if that is true, well, I need that information," said Berg, a self-proclaimed peace activist who has marched against the Iraq war. "I think that the people of the United States of America need to know what the fate of their sons and daughters might be in the hands of the Bush administration.",p> In the video showing Nick Berg's decapitation, one of the masked men read a statement that Berg had been offered in exchange for some Iraqi prisoners. U.S. officials deny that.

. Berg said he did NOT blame the terrorists for his son's violent death.

"Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," he said, shortly after posting a "War is not the Answer" sign on his front lawn. . "The al-Qaeda people are probably JUST AS BAD AS THEY ARE, but this administration did this."
