Last night they were reporting the quote as from his friend Skip, now today it's all over as from his dad...hard to know who said what it seems. (And obviously who exactly the 'they' is referring to...Iraqi people? AQ? ??) In the interview from outside his home in West Chester...Michael Berg said, "I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life...they did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

They appear to be two slightly different quotes from two different people -- not one quote attributed to two different people.

Sorry, should have been more clear in my reply. I just meant the "they killed their best friend" section of it as I realize both were couched in other sentences.

I just find it odd that two different people used the exact same wording. Especially b/c from what I've friend I don't see anything that would have made me jump up and say he was a best friend to the Iraqi people...I mean, it's not like he had been there for ages and had been doing all sorts of things.

Just seems odd to say it that way. MAYBE if they had both said "they killed one of their friends" or something less specific, but for it to have been identical wording, especially so vague as to the 'they,' and without (at least to mean) there being obvious reasons for them to both think those in Iraq should hold him so dear...

I'm very interested to see where this (situation) goes next...the twists and turns seem to increase daily.

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

Skip Best: "The real losers are the Iraqis. They killed their best friend. They just didn't know it..."

Whats so telling about those statements to me is the fact that these people think that friends can be made of these these Devil Worshippers.

An incredible lack of judgement!
