LOL, I am too. I have been "suspicious" of Berg's activities in Iraq, especially since learning that he was making his way around the country without a translator or driver. That is, until someone describes a different reality, not what you do. He was not fluent in the language, he was Jewish and he was in a war zone. I have many friends who have been around the world and in unsafe places, some I might say are a little Nick Berg like in terms of seeking adventure, but you always set yourself up with local "guides," unless they are already established.
I am curious if the brutal nature of his murder was not intended as a message to someone other than the United States.
Interesting hypothesis.
