I agree that Berg is very suspect as far as being a conservative. I read somebody's post someplace - probably on Lucianne, where they seem to think it's a crime to call Berg a nutball... that there's nothing mutually exclusive about being a conservative & going globe trotting to better the plight of the poor. I beg to differ! Sure, there are plenty of compassionate conservatives, I consider myself one of these on many fronts. But anybody who has hung out in the 3rd world (I've lived in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and traveled throughout Latin America & Europe backpacking & what not in my 20s) - knows that conservative kids are always at odds with the liberal "do gooder" kind of 3rd world loving types. You simply don't find 1 individual who is both.

Loaning out your password... (I mean what - he gave his laptop to a random Arab who then HACKED his password? Right!) that ends up w/ an associate of Zach. Mouss...traveling in Africa to help the poor...going to Iraq w/ no protection, no security plan, & hanging out in bad areas...doing an int'v w/ Michael Moore? Yeah, um...conservatives like HATE that guy. I would not offer him a ride if he were hitchiking in Death Valley.

So whatever the case, whether he was just a schizo/borderline/estupidisimo guy or what, Nick Berg had an agenda that went beyond what the mainstream media is buying into.

Some people have seemed to have a problem in separating Berg's recklessness or other agenda from his murder. Regardless of why he was there I have no such problem and haven't understood why it was almost sacrilege to ask questions.

As for Moore, it seems the extreme left have been looking to blame the United States, directly or indirectly for his murder. Moore would love to add to such conspiracy theories and if the video helped it seems he would have made a point of exposing it before now.
