"Why do you think Freepers won't like the big story stemming from this matter?"

Are you kidding? OK, let's assume that the story is true and that Berg ends up being linked with the terrorists. How is that going to play? I don't know that to be true, of course, so I'm just playing with the idea.

If Berg is linked with the terrorists, then his beheading may be for other reasons than stated in the video.

Again, time is going to play this out, but it's strange, indeed.

I must be missing something (it wouldn't be the first time).

Even if he isn't an "innocent" civilian, his death is no less horrifying and I fail to see why freepers won't be happy when the facts come out.

It isn't a matter of liking or disliking. I still think that seeking the truth is the best policy any.

We need to know whether Berg should be compared to Anne Boleyn or to Lady Jane Grey.

Berg was actually killed by the US. The men in the video were actually Bush, Ch.....Oh crap, I thought this was DU. Carry on, nothing to see, keep on moving.

Not having waded through 1100 posts, I'll apologize in advance if this has already been covered. People have suggested he might have been with the enemy. Thinking about this some more, I just can't believe it. What if he was acting as (what he believed in) a super patriot for the state of Israel and her partner, the USA? A Boerne Identity if you will? Perhaps he made himself available to be snatched. And then confessed to something he may have had no part in to infuriate the enemy to the point of executing him. Or the unthinkable which I won't even spell out here. Coming so closely on the heels of the "earth shaking" incident at Al Ghraib... I'll stop there.
