>> Nicholas Berg: A life of adventure

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.

It has been suggested he was setting up spy equipment on towers in Iraq. If true, what's to say he wasn't doing the same at the 2000 Republican Convention?

Then again it could have been just another well paid job so who cares about party affiliation and politics? Some contracters don't and just like to work and make money.

Personally I think the younger Berg was playing a dangerously ametuer game of "Jethro Bodine - Double Ought Spy."

The more I think about it, the more I think that we should assume that anything that comes out of the mouth of this far-leftist father is probably a lie. This guy is described as a "telecommunications whiz" and at least appears to have the credentials to back this up. Yet we're supposed to believe that he did something so incredibly stupid as what his father is describing? It doesn't wash for me.

I think the father himself is a good subject for a serious interrogation.

When did the govt. shut down troop access to email? A couple weeks ago? Could this have anything to do with it?
