Nick Berg had "coincidental" link to Moussoui

Fox News Alert...

Wow!

[petercooper]

Is it true his paternal Aunt was married to an Iraqi?

[Tall_Texan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Murrah blast took place in 1994. If Berg, as reported, was 26, that makes him 16 at the time of the Murrah bombing. I don't think anyone could tie him in with that.

Double agents in the new Iraqi government. That's how they did the Wolfowitz attack at that hotel and the attack on Bremer that was foiled.

The University of Oklahoma is in NORMAN.

I lived there long ago.

CIA Says Berg Killed by Terrorist Leader Al-Zarqawi, AP Reports

Adding another coincident to the pile. How did Berg get the "honor" of being held by AZ himself rather than some unknown terrorist? Could it be that AZ wanted him for some reason? Some have speculated AQ thought he ratted them out during his jail time.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Looks like a lot of embarrassingly speculative trash going on this thread.

Well until the facts are brought forth, what would you expect people to do, gawk at their TVs and computers and not say a word?

This whole story regarding this individual and his family are strange, no matter how you chop it up.

[KQQL]

In the interview from outside his home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, a seething Michael Berg also said his 26-year-old son, a civilian contractor, probably would have felt positive, even about his executioners, until the last minute.

"I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life," Berg said. "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

But CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports on what is turning into a bizarre mystery with a connection to 9/11.

U.S. officials say the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 after a computer password Berg used in college turned up in the possession of Zaccarias Moussaoui, the al Qaeda operative arrested shortly before 9/11 for his suspicious activity at a flight school in Minnesota.

The guy looked half starved. I doubt that he considered it a stunt.

As far as we know he could have been working for the CIA. We just don't know for certain what he was doing over there(Innocent Volunteer with a big heart, Terrorist Sympathizer, CIA agent). As for now, I’m inclined to believe “Innocent Volunteer” unless more information comes out indicating otherwise.

"What does the patriot act have to do with his son's death."

The terrorist sympathizers are now being monitored and they hate it. They can't find out if they're being monitored for certain because their judicial appointees are being bypassed.

Thanks! Tuning to FOX

Another strange thing. If you look at the image of Berg's body on the bridge, it is dressed in civilian clothing. Would his killers have re-dressed him to be dumped on a bridge after cutting off his head? He was wearing an orange jumpsuit at the time of his death.

Worth repeating.

Do you even know any human families?

I disagree with family members over politics, so if I were killed you'd start assuming I shared my cousin's beliefs? WHAT?

You don't know divided families? As for his friends, you dont even KNOW THEM. I never said I find them cuddly and frankly you're being a bit presumptuous and a bit of a jerk. You don't know who his friends were/are, so how can you know about THEIR activities. Just cuz the dad's a jerk means ZIP.

[mtbopfuyn]

The picture at the bridge - OM, he really is dressed and has shoes and socks on. That could be underwear, but it looks like a shir with sleeves. Of course AQ is of a different mind but why dress him?

[paleocon patriarch]

Let's see what we know so far about the late Mr. Berg....

M ossoui email connection attracts FBI scrutiny after 911
O wns telecommunication company, yet cant find sufficient work in USA
S tudied Arabic in Israel
S tubbornly refused American assistance including cash and free airfare home
A nti-semitic literature and Koran found when he is arrested in Mosul
D ecapitated by Al Quada freelancer with prosthesis alleged to have died 3 months ago

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Tinfoil alert.

[Ann Archy]

Berg went to Iraq TWICE??? Very strange.

[highlandbreeze]

I realize this, but it just seemed misplaced considering his son was JUST murdered.

[COUNTrecount]

Excellent scenario.

[Peach]

You would have to read the book The Third Terrorist.

Jayna Davis was able to obtain confidential files about John Doe #2, who is identified in the book.

He told 4 psychiatrists if anything happened at Logan Airport, where he worked, he would be blamed.

He was working at that airport as a food handler on 9/11.

[Peach]

Hey, sweetie.

I'm not sure it's a distraction yet; it sure is interesting though.
