I wondered at the pics of Nick Berg in Philadelphia and the video...I thought they didn't look same...you are only other person to trigger my original suspician....who was the hostage from Ohio, and did we get him back??

Almost anything is possible. It really did not look like the photos of Berg that we've been seeing pre-Iraq. And he wasn't in anyone's custody long enough to have lost all that much weight, etc.

If he was a double agent (primarily for al quaida, but also for CIA/FBI, it's hard telling who might of caught on and when.

Is there a picture of the hostage from Ohio? Something I noticed is that pictures of Nick Berg show a heavyset man with light hair. The video of the execution showed a man with a smaller frame with dark hair. I was so stunned by the video itself that I didn't even question the change of appearance.
