May 14, 2004 -- Nick Berg, the young American beheaded by terrorists in Iraq, had an earlier encounter with a Muslim fanatic - and inadvertently provided accused 9/11 al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui with his e-mail password. The bizarre twist was confirmed by the Justice Department and Berg's father. In what one Justice official described as a "coincidental" link, both the telecommunications whiz from West Chester, Pa., and the accused 9/11 conspirator were in Norman, Okla., in 2000.

Who says? Mike "ANSWER" Berg says so.

I don't buy the "Nick was pro-war" spin. Prometheus was a leftist outfit, trying to establish "people's radio stations" in the third world. This is a fact. Not "my son was Pro-Bush," which is spin and cover.

[Dr Snide]

it actaully been widely reported.

This is from CNN but you can probably find it elsewhere also

"He saw his trip to Iraq, his father said, as an adventure, but one that fit into his ideology. He was a war supporter and backed the Bush administration.He helped set up electronics equipment at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 2000."

[Travis McGee]

The key is Prometheus. It was leftist start to finish, his Dad Mr. ANSWER was it's backer. It's mission was to establish left wing "people's radio stations" in the third world. This can be established. What cannot be established is "Nick was pro-war and pro-Bush." We're going to take Mike ANSWER Berg's word for that?

Just check out Prometheus. That explains Nick's journey.

Your theories are always so believable. You should write books! :)

The lunatic libs will never learn this lesson. They are like the Russian communist victims of Stalin's purges, who went to the wall to be shot, yelling "Long live the Revolution! Long live Marxism-Leninism!" True believers to the end, no matter what.

The e-mail, sent to Berg's parents by the U.S. consular officer in Iraq, states, "I have confirmed that your son, Nick, is being detained by the U.S. military in Mosul. He is safe. He was picked up approximately one week ago."

And the minute Berg *may have been* released, father Berg sold his son's arse to his AQ friends.

There's more behind this, there has to be. Nick Berg reportedly carried a Koran and an anti-Semitic document when he was in Iraq. About his days as a college student, how stupid do you have to be to let an Arab foreign student use your computer, during the years when Arab terrorism was burgeoning all over the world? This is beyond belief.

Combined with the anti-Bush bias exhibited by his father, I'm suspicious of the entire family.

[Travis McGee]

Doesn't everybody share email passwords with 9-11 terrorists on a bus in Oklahoma, and then travel to Mosul to meet your Iraqi uncle, and help him set up his email system?

This has happened to me many times. Very ordinary.

[rintense]

I agree. And father Berg is a bigger player here than we can all imagine. His ties to ANSWER, George Soros, and the American liberal lying network have bought him cover- for the time being.

[Peach]

I hadn't picked up on his mention of Iran being pertinent to his stay. I think you are onto something with your post.

As a reader of spy novels, which sort of lost their allure after the end of the Cold War but have regained popularity after 9/11, that book would serve exactly the purpose you proposed.

[rintense]

I want someone to find financial links between ANSWER, AQ, and George Soros. We all know Soros hasa used money and power to influence foreign elections. Who's to say he isn't doing that here- both in the US AND Iraq?

"But to leave Cornell, an Ivy, for UO just seems a little weird."

What decisions that Berg made would lead you to believe that he typically exercised good judgement? I think "weird" could have been his middle name. Actually, "irresponsible" might be a better term.

[MamaLucci]

Thanks, I had missed that fact in all of my reading.

[Travis McGee]

"He saw his trip to Iraq, his father said, as an adventure, but one that fit into his ideology. He was a war supporter and backed the Bush administration.He helped set up electronics equipment at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 2000."

And you trust the spin of Mike ANSWER Berg?

The key is Prometheus, which Berg Sr was signed off on as principal. Prometheus is demonstrably a leftist outfit, its mission to establish left wing radio stations in third world countries. That's not spin, but fact.

"Pure speculation", but a far more coherent and plausible explanation than "a communications tower entrepreneur prospecting for business in an active combat zone". Especially in view of the fact that daddy is a card carrying subversive. A lot of things about this really reek.

[sweetliberty]

"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?"

That's exactly what I was thinking. Anyone with a little graphics skill and a computer could fake an email. The father's blind hatred of the president might tend to make him believe anything that supported his twisted viewpoint. My guess is that someone knew that and used it. This whole thing stinks.

[Travis McGee]

I've got some misguided leftist idealists in "Domestic Enemies," who are traveling to Aztlanized "Nuevo Mexico" to support "La Causa."

[Ciexyz]

It's all starting to come out. At first I figured the father was just wraught with emotion, and I gave him a pass. Now that I've read he's anti-American, has spoken with presumptive nominee Kerry....

Now we know that Kerry supporters raise their kids to be dumb enough to give out their email addys and loan their computers to Mid East terrorists.
