Berg's e-mails depict dangerous travels / Excerpts from Nicholas Berg's e-mails

Other reports explained that he went back to Iraq (from Pennsylvania) on March 14, believing he had work lined up, but planned to be back in Pennsylvania again by March 30 for a friend's wedding. Sorry, but that just doesn't add up in my book -- people doing industrial contract work in Iraq don't just pop over for a few days at a time, and make brief trips back to the U.S. for social events. Suspect there's a LOT more to this story.

The best and brightest of humans can still have a moron for a parent... RIP Nick Berg.

With all respect to his tormented family, who have a right to their grief and anger, Nick Berg is an American hero of the highest order, and history will accept him as such. A man who offered his can-do skills to BUILD things in this broken country liberated by his government, a man who was willing to see the hope in what many of us would write off as a hopeless culture, and a Jewish man who was willing to take the risks of traveling to a war zone where the enemy is one who hates Americans only slightly less than they hate Jews.

What was he thinking? He was thinking that life is an adventure and for doing good, productive things, and not for living in fear. The scum who killed him believe in death and murder and in having their sexual lust satisfied by their "god" in the afterlife. Actually, they're not even sure about all that, since the cowardly bastards wore masks to keep themselves anonymous and safe.

While Nick Berg has offered a clear contrast with the Abu Ghraib numbskulls, and has showed us all too poignantly the best of America that otherwise never gets noticed - still, it would be much better for us if he were still alive and doing his honest and hopeful work.

"Berg also mentions meeting a brother of an uncle by marriage. Michael Berg said that his sister, who is now
deceased, married an Iraqi man who lives near Baghdad."

A small world, apparently. Was this family connection a factor in why Berg was over there?

"Nick died for the sins of the Bush administration," Michael Berg said Wednesday in an interview with the AP.

POS. Glad you were denied viewing, Michael, you leftist moron.

The Bergs are Jewish yet an Iraqi married into the family? Curiouser and curiouser.

With questions continuing to develop about Berg's true purpose in Iraq, and especially the revelation of his association with Michael Moore, I hereby withdraw my declaration that Nick Berg is a hero, pending the revelation of some truth about the guy - which seems to be in short supply. He might just be a victim. Apologies to the millions I may have misled.
