Also, it should be remembered that Moussaui got caught. Perhaps, Berg could've provided a tip.

Good point. But if it's true, then why did the FBI leak the connection? That could blow the lid off a whole underground operation.

Never heard of this site but it basically blames FREE REPUBLIC for Berg getting killed. It showed up on a search in Google!

You just nearly killed me I was laughing so hard. Well, let's face it. Who are we going to send over there?? I want jews who love Israel or Christian Lebanese. The Docker wearing white guys from Virginia who are generally not knowledgeable on the mideast and stick out like a sore thumb?? I think Berg is so unlikely that it works--or maybe not, he is dead, right?? I think Berg was doing something highly dangerous, perhaps trying to pretend to be a John Walker Lindh type to get close.

I find it so odd, that he attended all those colleges. That he is a technical whiz. That is father is such a public ANSWER crank--didn't Oswald pretend to be a Castroite??

What people do so publically, I take with a grain of salt!!

..''We got along splendidly,'' Berg wrote. ''We spent a few hours and I helped him establish an e-mail account.'' --snip--....

Ok, to go along with "theories", perhaps this was code meaning have met Al Qaeda, all went well, helped establish ......

If they were involved in A.N.S.W.E.R. - they probably were into subversion tactics.

This is the Left trying to shift blame--it was the Leftist media (if any American had anything to do with it, that killed Nick Berg.

Are you buying all these conspiracy theories yet? I admit that he's starting to show up like Forest Gump amazingly close to certain AQ-related events, but there are also completely plausible explanations for all this so far. It would not be suprising for a kind and idealistic kid from a wealthy US Jewish family to try and befriend Muslim or M.E. students while in college, kumbaya and all that. Idealistic kids can be quite gullible and attracted to noble causes, and he seems to have a pattern of such with his going to Africa and Iraq. Plus some of the things his dad have said seem to be taken way out of context/proportion, with a ridiculous amount of things being read into those statements. If the guy and his dad were really in on some complicated AQ plot, would his dad be so careless as to say "He was AQ's best friend?" and blow 'X' years of hard work? Actually all the parents have said and done, while quite wrong and harmful, are fully consistent with what one could expect from grieving parents in shock naturally blaming a President whom they so vehemently have opposed in the past.

Come on guys...you just dont get it do ya?

If Berg was CIA, then G-d help us...

Nick was an expendable ignorant asset...its his father that is CIA.

His father sacraficed his son to Al Quada, within the the fallout of the prison scandal, to afford a forum in which to confirm his radical leftist leanings to ANSWER and MoveOn.

NICKS DAD IS A CIA AGENT ABOUT TO GO DEEP

The writing is on the wall...

Berg, who was Jewish, had in his possession texts that were considered ''anti-Semitic'' in tone.

As I have said from the beginning...to understand the son, watch the father. This story was dirty from the get go. The father also didn't waste a second of grief before attacking the Administration for his son's murder. Failed the smell test right there (add the "coincidental" email to complete the picture).

Michael Berg is an enemy of America. He is also JINO who hates Jews, supports the PLO and wants Israel to be destroyed. It was truly horrible that his son died this way (and unfortunate that it was not his wretched father instead), but if Nick was truly pro-insurgents, then the truth MUST come out. The Japanese "hostages" were ultra-left scum, and their government rightly attacked them instead of having false sympathies. Let's hear the truth.

A little off topic but wondered if any y'all caught this CIA guy on FNC, I think his name is simmons or something like that.He said torture is ok for high level AQ, says he's eaten, drank and slept with them, says he's seen them cut out tounges, gouge out eyes and cut off heads. I wonder how credible he is cuz he's an old white boy. How does one like that infiltrate AQ?

I like the way the author laid everything out. This is looking pretty bad.

Thanks for pinging me.

The photo circulating shows his body not hanging, but rather laying prone on the pedestrian walkway of the bridge.

I know the image you are referring to. That photo is NOT, I repeat NOT of Nick Berg. It is a photo of an anonymous Iraqi casualty from the initial invasion. It has been around for some time. I don't know exactly when the image was taken, but I saw it around April 30 in a gallery of imagery from OIF.

I don't know why, maybe he was Mossad. I wonder if he went to study in Israel as a teen. That is very emotional for many jews.

The anti-semitic books he had--total ruse.

If he was their IED maker, why would they kill him?? why would they kill him if he was helping them?? There are a lot of Americans they could nab. Why would they kill someone helping them kill Americans--they wouldn't!!

I don't think AOL covers Baghdad

If you have access to a phone, any phone, you have access to the internet. You may have to call Tel Aviv to get a server, but if you can call out, you can log on.

But according to his dad, Berg refused, believing that flying out of Baghdad airport was too dangerous and instead he wanted to try driving to Kuwait

Too dangerous? It was good enough for Bush and Rummy, but not for this guy? Again, this story fails the smell test. what was he up to when he fell into the hands of his father's buddies???

What is worse, getting your head cut off or being eaten alive by a bear.

Or getting run over by a D8 "Cat" Bulldozer...

Well, remember that Oswald was supposed to be a rabid Castro loving Communist--we all know that that wasn't so. Castro hated Communists and was friends with men who had trained the Cuban freedom fighters that Kennedy left in the lurch at the Bay of Pigs. Oswald's public Red activities were purposeful.

Why would the father be so publically Red???
That's too easy!!
