body was found hanging from an overpass

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

the brother in law Iraqi connection set off my alarm bells. I worried that this seemingly naive young man had possibly been "set up". It does not change my fury at his death.

Someone else posted that was another person. Not Berg. Which makes sense since I think I saw the picture you are referring to (can't find it) and Berg had pants and a shirt on. Why would they dress him in the nice clean orange outfit then kill him then take the orange outfit off then put his clothes back on?

If that is the photo which also shows a soldier in uniform walking near the body, someone posted that that is an old photo published during the initial military drive into Bagdad last year.

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.
