Ask PhiKapMom, she has all the info on that angle. Here's what I recall.

After receiving a highly coveted award at Colgate for (IIRC) best electrical engineering student, Berg went to Univ. of OK for one quarter. There he roomed with an Iraqi student, hung out with Iraqi students, and met some Iraqi on a bus who just happened to know Zacharias Moussaui (sp??). During the <30 minute bus ride, Berg gave this "stranger" his laptop and email addy & password so that the "stranger" could send and receive e-mail.

Berg's e-mail address showed up when the FBI investigated ZM, and the FBI paid Berg a little visit, but later they said that he was just an unfortunate victim of circumstance.

I think that Berg went or was sent to OK specifically to meet up with these Iraqis and do something, what I don't know. But being a Bush supporter was part of his cover, IMO.

Berg's expertise is communication towers and that means knowing EXACTLY how to disrupt them as well as how and where to construct them.

Hmmm...

What if Nick Berg was trying to get in contact with ZM.

Exactly! It doesn't add up -- think the key is that Moussaoui was probably in the Country and here in Norman much sooner than was reported originally IMHO. To meet Moussaoui on a bus (think there was more than that), Berg would have been back here in Feb 2001 until that summer sometime OR Moussaoui was here in Norman to visit way before his "supposed" arrival in Feb 2001! OU switched over to a new email system and scrubbed all email accounts in between Berg's "supposed" time in Norman and Moussaoui's "supposed" arrival. No way would Berg who was no longer a student have had that email account. Everyone had to resign up -- had two kids there at the time. You had to provide your student ID# which was checked to see if you were still a student. One of my son's friends was taking a semester at another college (grades) and couldn't keep his OU email account.

On the Nickberg.org website, one of his emails said that "we" (we?) had a 77 white van in Texas and Oklahoma.

Yikes!!! More white vans!!!!
