Wow!
I have tried diligently to find out all of the countries in Africa visted by Nick Berg, and when.
The only thing I have found is the Ghana adventure where it is reported he 'even(among what else?) helped them[?] make mud bricks'.
A few of the emails, statements and what not from his friends and family indicated he went to Africa more than once, and one report puts him in the continent 3 times.
What countries did Nick Berg visit in Africa and when did he visit them?
Another question that needs answering.
I wish you could tell us these FReepers' names so we could ask them what the hell that's supposed to mean.
A big story HAS already come out of this. The guy was beheaded.
Anything else is just sloppy seconds.
Talk about irony...
Thanks.
"he said that Nick quit the Boy Scouts because they were going to force him to go to some military base and fire a handgun."
A strange statement- in these parts, the BSA only allows air rifles and .22 rifles, no handguns or centerfire rifles are allowed (for official Scout operations; one Scout shoots a mousegun in hipower matches, but on his own and wit his mom.) I think that is a national BSA policy; I was told that while RO-ing a troop at the range.
And Scouts FORCING a boy to go to a base and shoot handguns?
Well .. that's an interesting theory, but I didn't watch the video .. and the still photos I saw looked more to me like he was almost in shock .. or that he had no idea what was really going to happen to him.
Does this smack of the usual "intelligence" subterfuge? Plant conflicting stories, confuse the rubes, get the "right wing" folks knickers in a twist with no clear outcome? Add the Mossad, CIA, and AQ, we got us a Tom Clancy novel in the making.
Maybe that's another reason the press is downplaying the decapitation. An American do-gooder getting his head cut off should have made the news a little more.

Nicholas Berg: The Dots Do Not Connect
http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=7391
(Comment: Reads as a recap of this thread.)
Two brave Christians (Anne Boleyn provided scriptures to the servants - at a time that doing so carried the risk of death; and Lady Jane Grey made quite a testimony - nothwithstanding she was only 16 years old - during an interrogation prior to her beheading) vs. Mr. Berg. Other than all 3 got their head's chopped off - I fail to see the comparison...
FReepmail
Africa is positively crawling with Al Quaeda.
Most do-gooders travel to Africa with church groups or charitable NGOs. Not on their own....
Another cover story?
Curiouser and Curiouser!
I would like to know what Nick did between the time he was released after being "detained" and the time he was captured by Moussaoui's group. Also where was Nick and what was Nick doing when he was captured by the group?
I don't understand why FReepers seem to be losing their heads over some yesterday's news item?!
If you look at the post #168 ( From Philly.com ), that account mentions Uganda.
Hmmm........
What I would like to know is what the FBI hoped to achieve by leaking this information.
wow! saved to read later..if you can summarize it all for me, that'd be great!
