don't know a thing about all your posts, but there are a heck of a lot of Berg families in Philadelphia. Heck, I bet there are a couple dozen Berg families in West Chester PA.

So how could someone know that two people with the name Berg were related, let alone blame us for having him arrested?

Unless an FBI did a background check on people going to Iraq. You see, then they would identify family members for security lapses.

I worked overseas, so probably have a security check in my background somewhere...but if they found my name on a website as a security check, good luck in finding my family in Philadelphia, since my common family name has two pages in the phone book....including three fellow student in my graduating class and my history teacher all had the same last name...

So how could someone know that two people with the name Berg were related, ...

I believe the clincher is the fact that both are listed as working for the same private company, which as I understand it was formed and run by the son.

From the ANSWER communists' website:
"Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc."

So how could someone know that two people with the name Berg were related, . . .

Here is one news report from May 8:

West Chester contractor missing in Iraq

. . . Nick Berg, 26, owns a business called Prometheus Methods Tower Service Inc. He climbs communications towers to inspect the antennas, the electrical connections and the structure. He first went to Iraq on Dec. 21.

He stayed until Feb. 1, making contact with a company that indicated there would likely be work for him later. But he returned on March 14 and there was no work, so he began traveling. He usually called home once a day and e-mailed several times; Michael Berg is his business manager, and they needed to stay in touch.

They spoke on March 24, and Nick Berg told his parents he was coming home on March 30. Then the communications stopped, and he wasn't on the plane on March 30.

When FBI agents arrived at the Berg's West Chester home on March 31, they were relieved to know their son was alive, but in jail. The agents questioned them about various details that only they and their son would know about.

Jerri Williams, spokeswoman for the Philadelphia FBI office, said the agency was ``asked to interview the parents regarding Mr. Berg's purpose in Iraq.'' . . .
