Time sequence:

Kerry trolls bereaved dad hoping for a sound-bite.
Dad doesn't give him anything he can use.

This family is hiding something. Haven't figured out what.

I agree - this whole thing does not add up.

Why in the world would someone go to Iraq with a Jewish name - now?

The first cover was he was there to build communication towers..?? But was not a contractor. I seriously doubt this story - plus he was what - 26 years old. He wouldn't have the capital to do it likely.

Then there are conflicting reports about who, when and where he may or may not have been in captivity.

The mans son is supposed to be there on a private business mission and all his dad can say is "Bush did it!" Politics before grieving the death of your son?? Riiiiight.

I heard one report that he "visited a friend" in Mosul. The gist of the story was the "friend" was scared for his own safety just being with this guy. Overlooked the "turd in the punchbowl" - hows does a 26 year old kid raised in the states have a "friend" in Mosul and then wide up getting killed by the most wanted terrorist on the planet?

How is it the Zarkawi finds this kid and we have 140,000 people that are highly motivated to speed up his meeting with the 72 virgins looking for him and can't find him..

Has spooks written all over it to me. We shall see.

Agreed. There seem to be many questions as to why this poor man was still in Iraq, and what exactly he was doing there. I just remeber those Japanese 'hostages' who had contacts with the wrong folks. Though that was staged I suspect, I think Mr. Berg may have befriended the wrong people, and was tricked by them, and found himself face to face with some very evil people. Much like Mr. Pearl was.

"This family is hiding something. Haven't figured out what."

Well it's no secret that the father is a flaming liberal a-hole.
