Moore also did not publicly disclose the contact between himself and Nick Berg until this Salon scoop.

I wonder, did Moore make any comments about Nick Berg, in particular, before yesterday?

That is a very good question.

This thread sure does seem to connect the dots to a lot of Nick Berg 'mysteries'.

I'm not yet saying it "connects the dots", but the known factors you bring up and the lines you draw between them in this post are certainly huge possibilities.

Lets refine your great question just a little bit:

WHAT DID MICHAEL MOORE KNOW ABOUT NICK BERG. WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

[bonfire]

The BBC has picked up on this story.

[Miss Marple]

There is more evidence here showing suspicious activity of Michael Moore and Nick Berg than there is between President Bush and the bin Laden family flight out of the country.

I think we should make a documentary.

Hey, those guys who wrote the book about Moore...maybe THEY would know something!

[Ann Archy]

Moore bragged on his web site that he had two camera crews in Iraq, filming for him, and that they were sending him footage by Fed Ex, which he thought hilarious

SUBPOENA FedEx records from Iraq to Moore!!

[Miss Marple]

Good. If BBC gets it, it will get into some American press.

[Howlin]

The father sued Rumsfeld.

[Dane]

Do you think Rush will talk about this ?

We'll hear in about 20 minutes, but I found it curious that nothing was said during the Today show this morning, and add, Katie took the day off.

[RGSpincich]

I see very general references to time and dates. No EDT vs.Baghdad DT. So I'm assuming that time references are from the perspective of MSB. He was also working the phones to federal authorities, so I'm sure that the suit was threatened and prepared for by the feds. As in "if this clown does file a suit, we won't be able to protect his kid anymore".

So was the 20 minute (isn't that a long time?) clip of Berg cut out before the beheading or after? Was this a politically-motivated editing job?

[AFPhys]

When the only cheerleaders claiming he was a "huge Bush supporter" was his father and family, it was truly suspicious. Gosh - I know everyone who would interview friends of mine would discover EVERYONE said I was a major league conservative and Bush supporter.

Nothing has ever fully meshed with the way Berg was portrayed by his father.

[AuntB]

Yes.

[Howlin]

I want to know who was filming for Moore. I bet the FBI does as well.

I remember posting that same sentiment on the thread about Moore having spies in Iraq!

[bonfire]

Ask Fred Barnes on FOX about his lies.

[Helms]

...as long as we don't have to see what oozes out...

Alien ooze maybe.

This is one of the most interesting/fascinating/weird tales I have ever seen dissected on FR. Please count me in as very intrigued. I am pretty far along in concluding that Berg whose father was SUING THE US GOVERNMENT was just like his old man and doing his old man's business in Iraq til it was decided that he really would serve a better purpose.

[Grampa Dave]

Your comment below is excellent, and it may explain why Nick was "such a fan of GW and the war!".

It occurs to me that if someone wants contracts for working in a country currently occupied by U.S. forces, it might be helpful to be thought of as a supporter of the President and the war effort.

[Dane]

I remember posting that same sentiment on the thread about Moore having spies in Iraq!

I would add the spies were for France also, thus the hand palm award at Cannes.

[Saundra Duffy]

We are not releasing it to the media. It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family.

I DEMAND THE RELEASE OF THIS FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!! Obviously Michael Moore doesn't want us to see it probably because it makes the thesis of his sick movie a farce. He's just hiding behind Nick Berg's weird papa.
