"Meanwhile, Berg's family - which held a private funeral for Nick in West Chester yesterday - produced a bombshell e-mail"

Bombshell? The reporter would like it to be a bombshell. More like a bottle rocket. Americans are outraged at the beheading. All of this media finger-pointing at the U.S. Government ain't gonna fly this time.

One of his friends in Iraq was quoted as saying that Nick was leaving Iraq because he had made a lot of money and was going to go to Turkey next. However, he told another friend he was leaving Iraq because the work had dried up.

He was only there for 6 to 8 weeks the first time. He went back in mid March and was arrested 10 days later. He spent nearly 2 weeks in custody, then around April 6th to 9th, he said he was leaving.

So how and when did he make this money?

A "Nick Berg" received an approximately $500 engineering scholarship for the 1999-2000 school year. He must have been doing okay in his classes for that to happen. But then he ups and leaves Cornell the next semester...for Oklahoma?

When I went across country in the summer of 2001, one of my favorite states was Oklahoma, so no offense intended. But to leave Cornell, an Ivy, for UO just seems a little weird.

An intersting excerpt from one of his emails:

"The other interesting thing about this area is that, for some reason, there are supposedly a good deal of Iranian spies who wander over and sneak about. This actually became quite relevant to my stay in Diwaniya. Isn't this starting to read like a mystery novel..."

so strange. And how are Iranian spies relevant to his stay???

excerpt:
"Otherwise, I came to Mosul to meet Moffak Mustaffa Yasin, Mudafer's (my paternal uncle) brother. It was very easy to find his office (it took about one hour of broken Arabic and a few family-tree sketches)."

Cincy, this story is taking such bizzare twists that I don't know what to make of it.

One other thought to throw into the pot.

If Nick Berg so easily gave his email password, who's to say the emails from Iraq to his family were actually written by Nick? Hmmmmmm?

Truth is stranger than fiction. But finding the truth in the fiction is becoming a real challenge.

A LINKED filled story at CSMonitor - FreeRepublic mentioned - Nick Berg: 'Iraqi police thought I was an Israeli spy' ***Several other interesting twists have also arisen in this story. Nick Berg and his father, Michael, had strongly differing opinions about the war (a posting on a right-wing website had labeled Michael Berg as an "enemy" of the US because he signed a petition supporting the "Global Day of Action" held on March 20 to protest war in Iraq). Also, Berg's deceased aunt had been married to an Iraqi. The Associated Press reports that Berg had visited Mosul on an earlier occasion to see his aunt's husband's family. ***

London Free Press: Questions surround slain American's statusM (AP)***...The FBI warned Berg shortly before his disappearance that Iraq was too volatile a place for unprotected American civilians, but he turned down a State Department offer to fly him home, U.S. officials said yesterday.

Berg was inspecting communications facilities, some of which were destroyed in the war or by looters.

During his time in Iraq, he struggled with the Arabic language and worked at night on a tower in Abu Ghraib, a site of repeated attacks on U.S. convoys and the location of the notorious prison where U.S. soldiers abused Iraqi inmates.

His father, Michael Berg, said his sister, now dead, married an Iraqi man named Mudafer, who became close to his son. In one of the e-mails, Nicholas Berg describes going to the northern city of Mosul, where he introduced himself to Mudafer's brother, identified as Moffak Mustaffa.

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

"And if they were on a bus, how did this guy end up accessing his e-mail?"

I thought the same thing.
Way too many things that don't add up here.

I wan't some kind of confirmation that Nick was really for the war and President Bush.

I won't take his fathers word for it, it needs to be an independent source. I wonder how he's registered to vote?

Additionally, the information that came out yesterday regarding Nick becoming more religious whilst the rest of his family was non-observant makes me think it could have been simply cover, I dare not say his Rabbi is lying.

There is no chance at all these connections are coincidence. None.

He moved around alot. Does anyone know anyone who knew him. FReepers get around,,surely someone knew him. I am intrigued in that the Homeland Security cybersecurity center is in Oklahoma. Berg says he was working at night on a tower or something in Iraq,,now would someone do that kind of work at night? It doesn't make sense to me.
