"Did anything happen in those countries during that time?"

OH ICK, Look what is the first thing that pops.

"Clinton faces diplomatic challenge in Uganda

Clinton in Ghana Monday
Speech in Ghana draws enthusiastic response
March 24, 1998
A warm welcome in Ghana
Ghana's leader: When people flourish, so do nations Crowd rushes Clinton KAMPALA, Uganda (CNN) -- U.S. President Clinton arrived Tuesday in Uganda, his second stop on an unprecedented 12-day, six-country tour of Africa. After a warm welcome in Ghana, Clinton's two days in Uganda could present the most delicate diplomatic challenges of the trip.

Clinton is expected to hail Uganda's recent economic recovery, while nudging President Yoweri Museveni to open up his country's "no-party" political system.

During his stay in Uganda, Clinton is expected to make a brief visit to neighboring Rwanda to pay tribute to the estimated 800,000 victims of the 1994 genocide, when Tutsis and their allies were slaughtered by Hutu extremists."

" Well per busniess database It list it as starting in 2000... It also has a Dun and Bradstreet number... (there alot of databases you have to sigh up in to do biz with the gov.)"



Yes:
Prometheus Methods Tower Services incorporated in State of Virginia
Verifiable here: http://www.state.va.us/scc/division/clk/diracc.htm

This was one of the 2 main causes for suspicion - the then unconfirmed legitimacy of Nick's business. The suspicions were raised when an article came out saying there was no record of Nick's business, "Prometheus Methods", but that has since been found to be a poorly researched article on many points. (article and details of updates in my profile page)


...That article spurred other suspicions when it was discovered that there were 2 businesses in Philadelphia (others in PA) that had the name "Prometheus" in the title, not including Nick's "Prometheus Methods Tower Service".

One was an internet business, the other was the poorly reputed company "Prometheus Radio", run by a man whose politics were reflective of Nick's father. That man denies any relationship, and tho we've done a ton of digging, we haven't found a link so far.

I'm not sure if we're looking at ONE woman whose son was killed or TWO.

Could be. It's tough finding details for the "documentary". MM has two websites in addition to michaelmoore.com, dogeatdogfilms.com and theawfultruth.com. The last two weren't loading for me for a few hours but they seem to have come back online now.

Yeah-that makes more sense. The whole deal was a set up from the get-go and the jihadis ruined the phony "conversion" when they killed Nick.

Agreed. I didn't realize the significance, until the liberals scratched the scab off of it. Now the puss is flowing out like a ruptured sewer line.

Michael Moore says, "I've got three weeks left until completion [of the film Farenheit 9-11]."

It would be interesting to know when Moore said this. The newspaper article quoting him is dated (as it shows above) 4-21-2004. Nick Berg's body was found one day short of three weeks from the date of the article.

I don't know why I find this interesting. I just do.

Contributed by: tomw CBSNEWS.com - Army Marine Sgt. Michael Pedersen, 26, of Flint, Mich., joined the Army right out of high school and was a great father to his 7-year-old daughter, his widow said April 5.

A Flint, Mich., native who was one of six soldiers killed in the crash of an Army Black Hawk helicopter during a fire fight in Iraq, was a helicopter crew chief with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division based in Fort Steward, Ga.

"He was a quiet person," said his wife, Chanel Pedersen, 24. "A great father. He loved his daughter. He was an excellent soldier."

She said she met her husband while growing up in Flint. She said they attended the same high school before they married in 1997, but had been separated at the time of his death.

In recent days, Chanel Pedersen said she has told their daughter, Destiny, that her father won't be back.

"She's doing fine. I explained to her that her father is with Jesus," Chanel Pedersen said. "We're pretty much coping."

In the film, Moore revisits his hometown of Flint, Michigan, whose economic distress after General Motors plant closings was the subject of his first documentary, "Roger & Me."

Moore talks with resident Lila Lipscomb during her daily routine, hanging an American flag in front of her house. He returns later as Lipscomb heart-wrenchingly reads the final letter from her son, Michael Pedersen, killed in action in Iraq.

As her patriotism turns to bitterness against the federal government, Lipscomb journeys to Washington, D.C. Near the end of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Lipscomb stares at the White House and says, "I finally have a place to put all my pain and anger."

For all his Bush criticism, Moore said he would he would like to visit the White House himself.

"I would love to have a White House screening of this film," Moore said. "I would attend it. I would behave myself."

Because we all want to know why Michael Moore interviewed him and why that footage is NOT in that film.

I find it odd that, with all the other rants there, Moore never mentions Berg, period.

You are correct they [Abu Ghraib photos] happened in November. One question that has plagued me about those pictures - were the people involved in either the filming or the soldiers themselves working for Moore?


>>>>

It is a given that the anti-war, human shield, Code Pink, ANSWER-type folks did not just fade into the sunset with the fall of Saddam. It really is entirely possible that they had found and exploited the military weaknesses of those involved with cell Block 1A. The rabid Anti-Bush leders surely would have been in routine touch with Michael Moore.

One more 'coincidence' that has not been mentioned on this thread, at least as far as I have read, is that there is a left-wing bring-radio-communication-to-the-third-world company that is also named Prometheus something, I bet Michael Moore and Michael Berg both know about this organization, and that Nick Berg happened to decide to have a career in climbing radio towers as a result of his father's interest in this company.
