Actually, I think it was Andrew Robert Duke.
Don't ask for a source; I don't remember! It's somewhere on my hard drive and I don't have time to look for it.
"Actually, I think it was Andrew Robert Duke"
Thanks. That is probably correct. But the information, that Berg had received/accepted transportation out of Iraq from some 'people who seemed nice' ...were the words of Aziz.
I have saved most of the articles and will now go back and check.
That Andy Duke character deserves a good examination, if you ask me. He shows up as owning property in CO, both in Denver and Boulder. He's been in Iraq since last summer and hangs around the Al Fanar hotel in Baghdad as a "consultant." This is allegedly the hotel where he met NB and was 2 doors down from him, drinking beer with NB the night he was last seen. And I think Duke once had a stockbroker's license, but I'm not sure of that one. His age has been given as anywhere from 43 to 50 -- seems like no one can get it right.
Anyway, my leisure time is gone for now. Be back when I can.
If you look up Duke, try different variations: Andrew Robert Duke; Andrew R. Duke; Andy Duke, etc.

Now I have printed out the article so that I can quote directly from it. The final paragraph (in part) states;
'The next day, he vanished.
'Azis, though, says he heard from Berg one more time.
'The morning he disappeared, Berg "surprised me by calling me at 9 or 10, to say that he had found some freinds to travel with to Jordan," he says.
'Berg said he was en route; Aziz doesn't know who he was with or what kind of vehicle they were driving. "He said they were nice people. I told him to have a nice trip."
'Aziz says he understands Berg's phone was used as recently as April 19, and that three calls were made that day - to Jordan, to the United Arab Emirates and to a local number. "He could still have been alive." (Aziz said)
