The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death. The reporter believes Iraqi police regularly use FreeRepublic to determine who the official enemies of the United States are? I would like for the reporter to further explain the leap made in this paragraph.
Nick Berg, 26 disappeared into incommunicado detention after his arrest by Iraqi police in March, 2004. He vanished again after his release 13 days later. His body was found last Saturday in Baghdad, and a video of his beheading --supposedly supposedly? or is there an inference here that maybe it wasn't a radical Islamic group and might be members of the radical right wing? Does this reporter think we're part of the wacko militia groups and have sent some of our members over to kill sons of A.N.S.W.E.R. supporters? by a radical Islamic group-- was posted on the Internet on Tuesday.
The official story of his gruesome murder has many dubious aspects, not least the real reason why Iraqi police detained the young man at a checkpoint. I haven't heard a reason yet why he was detained in the first place. New research by BreakForNews has uncovered a plausible explanation.
The FreeRepublic.com web site and forum has a reputation for right-wing views, often fanatical fanatical? Oh, please! Republican and relentless pro-war activism.
On 7th March, 2004, just three weeks before the first anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, an 'enemies' list of anti-war groups and individuals was posted on the Free Republic forum.
It began: "Here you are, FReepers. Here is the enemy."
The list had been copied from publicly available endorsements of a call to action for an imminent anniversary antiwar protest on 20th March, 2004. The protest was being organized under the banner of the A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism).If the reporter is going to stretch as far as they have to find a reason, why aren't they pointing fingers at A.N.S.W.E.R. since the list was already available there?
Among those listed as having endorsed the call to action was this entry: "Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc."
That's Nick Berg's father, Michael who acts as business manager for his son in their family radio communications firm, Prometheus Methods Tower Service. And the reporters point is?
I'm continuously amazed at the way some people's minds work. They can invent a tin-foil theory based upon you supposedly being able to see into the future and know Nick Berg was in Iraq! I'm sorry but I think this reporter is a nut.
