He had a little beard around his face didn't he,,how long would that take to grow. He looked much thinner. In fact he looked quite different. This is a mystery to me. When was he in Israel by the way?

"From the video it looks as if he had been held several weeks before being killed"

He looked well shaven except for his thin beard. Maybe they wanted him to look nice for the video.

He seemed totally clueless as to what was coming until
they kicked him over.

"The good thing was that he meant no harm to anyone,"

As it was so obvious to this observer that he meant no harm, it is obvious to me that Berg felt the altruistic, do gooder intentions of his would protect him against harm.

When will people learn that simply exuding the good vibes of appeasement only puts them at greater risk?

One thing I noticed that no one in the media seems to be dwelling on is the fact that Berg's body was found 2 weeks before the prison scandal had hit worldwide headlines, yet from the captors statement, they made reference to the above said prison scandal, citing specifically Abu Ghraib, before he was beheaded.

No, his body was found Saturday and his killers were aware of the Abu Ghraib matter before beheading him.

The more I hear about this guy the more my Red-dar goes off. His father's association with A.N.S.W.E.R. confirms that he was at least raised as one.

I believe that the possibility that he was a willing dupe (up to the final moments of course)of his own killers cannot be ruled out with any degree of certainty. If it is true that they tried to bargain his life for the release of prisoners he may well have been a willing player who thought that the taped address was going to be nothing more than a warning.

I know no more than anyone else but my nose works.
