I'm glad this was brought up.
I have not heard mention of why he was a blond haired blue eyed clean shaven man........and when the terrorist had him in his orange prison suit......why was his hair black and he had a black beard?
Why did he want to look like one of them? Has anyone heard anything about this?
First--he was not blonde. He had reddish tinted hair.
Secondly, some of the more daring reporters adopted the Shi'a beard(or women donned the veil) to fit in and become less conspicuous. Also, this may surprise you, but the mustacheless beard(or Lincoln) is not unfashionable among the youth(white OR black)
His hair and beard were not black, the film is of such poor quality that you cannot see red tints. My father had blondeish hair, but had enough dark in it that a video of such poor quality(and even the color was off, look at the film) he might even show up as a "brunette."
See post #17.
I've read a bunch of threads about Nick Berg, and as far as I am concerned, there is way way more to this story than is being told. Way way more. I hope we find out. The Nick who got beheaded in the video (I just saw the pic, not the vid) looks very different from the guy at the business fair. Someone up the thread mentioned that some pictures were distorted; I clicked the link but couldn't find what he was referring to.
The whole thing is weird. Supposedly Nick was pro-war and pro-Bush - the sole evidence is his rabid father saying that, probably for effect. I am very sorry the poor guy had to die, and in such a way. It's just that there is something weird and unsavory about the whole story.
