First of all, they guy they were supposed to have executed was a girlyguy.

Stop insulting the slain American. If you are saying that the murder scene was staged, that is ridiculous. If you are saying that they killed someone else and made him state that he was Nick Berg in some sort of ANSWER scam, well I can't refute it, but its way, way out there. Especially considering that several of his friends said that he supported the war. You do know that its quite common for parents and children to have quite opposite views on politics and such?

The differences in the picture are explained by weight loss. Earlier he had travelled to another country to do some aid work, and came back with almost nothing, so a loss of weight from stopping lifting weights, poor diet, not a lot of food available, heat, etc. is quite likely. You seem to have gone from considering possible explanations to irrational advocacy of a wishful theory. E

I did this kind of stuff for a living, turkey. Your head doesn't change shape no matter how much weight you lose. You can lose fat in your face, but the shape of your skull remains the shape of your skull. And this guy in the execution video had slightly slanted eyes. Berg didn't. This guy had thick dark eyebrows. Berg didn't. And furthermore, if Berg would have lost that much weight, he would have looked emaciated, hanging skin and all that, like ex-muscle builders and such.
This guy was downright diminuitive. Berg wasn't. He was tall and pretty big boned. There are obvious differences if even all you use is an anatomical frame of reference.
Besides which, in case you hadn't noticed, I did not insult Nick Berg. In fact, I compared him to the slain Italian who remained defiant until his last breath. Read before you pounce. And think before you leap.
