This fact defies all logic otherwise as well. Unless one is suicidal, totally stupid, or 'feels safe doing so', who in the hell would ever travel freely in Iraq as a solo with an American passport, with a Jewish name, and an Israeli validation?
This is beyond comprehension...any thoughts?
Just random speculation here, but I am wondering if there is some kind of connection between the arrest of the white Muslim lawyer in Portland Saturday and the discovery of Peter Berg's body on Saturday in Iraq.
The lawyer, Brandon Mayfield, was taken into custody because his fingerprint was identified on a shopping bag of detonators in Madrid just after the series of synchronized bombings on trains back on March 11. The detonators were activated by cell phones. This is a common ploy used by Al Quaeda lately, especially in simultaneous bomb attacks in a city - a similar series rocked Casablanca, Morocco last May. The majority of the many suspects in the Madrid attack are Moroccan Muslims.
Nick Berg was in Iraq supposedly to set up some kind of cell phone service there. When I read "cell phone" I immediately thought of the terrorist attack tactic. Who funded this trip of his, and did he have any equipment or technology with him? Who would he seek out to be partners or clients?
Besides Israel, what other countries were stamped on his passport?
What are the odds, with all the US Military looking for Al-Zarqawi, that this guy just happens to find him after meeting with his uncle...
I'd be looking real close at the uncle if I was in charge...
