There were two headless bodies. The photo that appeared here was of the body of an Iranian professor who had been kidnapped and beheaded a few days before the Berg video came out. I don't know if his head was found or if any group ever claimed "credit" for the deed.
Berg was found tied and dangling from an overpass, with his head placed at his feet, IIRC. He was identified through DNA, in addition to visual identification.
Inaccurate. Berg was encouraged to leave and given opportunities to leave which he repeatedly declined. Shame on Salon (again) for trying to skew the facts.
You are correct Howlin, something was posted about Moore bragging about a spy.

Moore also bemoaned the lack of freedom of expression in the US and said the art of documentary film making was under threat.
What a horses patootie!
>>If Berg was a Bush supporter, why would Moore interview him at all?
Good Point! I don't recall Berg ever being claimed to be
a Bush supporter OTHER than from his war-protester father.
I never did believe it was just a harmless 'coincidence' that
Berg shared his email account and password with Al Qaeda
in Oklahoma!
Or why Berg felt so comfortable roaming Iraq alone, but
so uncomfortable with the offer of a U.S. escort out of
Iraq.
This thread sure does seem to connect the dots to a lot of
Nick Berg 'mysteries'.
Berg supposedly affected a somewhat military look, and in some pictures appears to be wearing a kind of dog tag. He was also, supposedly, a religious Jew who had grown up in a secular household but rediscovered Judaism, and had a prayer shawl and tefillim (the small box containing a scroll from Deuteronomy that Orthodox Jews wear on their heads or arms when praying).
However, I have also seen Middle Eastern jewelry consisting of a little box (about the size of the object in the picture) containing verses from the Koran.
Or it could be a tiny padlock. Just another mystery about Nick Berg.

Take a look at this thread when you have time.
I think Nick Berg, was of the same political persuasion as is father. The source for the belief that Nick was pro-war is the father, who is not to be believed.
Curiouser and curiouser. A 20 minute interview a "unknown" telecom worker? Why? Who introduced these two? Didn't the Iraqis suspect Berg of being a "spy" ? Perhaps they were on to something. If Moore was behind sending Berg to Iraq, he should never hear the end of it.
When the link to Moussoui came out, I had the distinct impression that the media was quickly spoon-feeding an explanation.
Wonder how they will explain a Moore connection?

My first thought: PR move.

Did Berg sacrifice himself for the antiwar, anti-Bush crowd?
I just hate it when I miss a good thread because I went to bed! This one especially galls me, because I was on the earlier thread yesterday afternoon!
On the other hand, what if Berg admitted on film he was over there as an ANSWER plant?
That's a pretty safe assumption.
It is very perplexing. You would think that Moore would have disclosed that he interviewed Nick Berg right after his murder, but it seems this was leaked by someone.
FWIW, The Toronto Star states that the phone was unanswered yesterday at the Berg residence.
No one answered Berg's parents' phone yesterday in West Chester, Pa.
