But this is not true to Berg's father who said that al Qaeda is probably as dangerous as Bush and Rumsfeld. It's clear to me that Nick Berg's father has a vested interest in not seeing his son's death used to support Bush's view of the terrorist threat and related policies. This is what makes the question of who Nick Berg was and what he was doing in Iraq more intriguing. As we well know here, those who sympathize with the anti-war western crowd have no more standing with Muslim extremists than those of who don't. That would be a bitter pill for the former to swallow and it surely goes a long way in explaining the elder Berg's outrageous effort to hold Bush responsible for his son's death.
