This is really interesting and may connect a few dots:

"It said the interview took place in the United States late last year, before Berg, a radio-tower technician, made the first of two trips to Iraq seeking work there as a private contractor.

So, how would a completely unknown young wannabe contractor like Berg come to the attention of Moore, whose anti-President Bush screed "Dude, Where's My Country?" was the best-selling book in the nation at the time?

Stranger than that: Why would Moore or his crew interview Berg for "Fahrenheit 9/11" for 20 minutes, when Berg's family insists the slain contractor was pro-Bush and supported the American military action in Iraq?

HEADLINE: Who Killed Nick Berg?

(snip)

While this video shows a human body having its head chopped off, it does not necessarily portray an act of murder. Berg's headless body was found dumped on a Baghdad roadside on Saturday, May 8.

Three days later, the "live beheading" clip was uploaded from London to the Malaysian website www.al-ansar.biz. The statement in the video is signed with al-Zarqawi's name, dated May 11. After Fox News and CNN had downloaded the video, it disappeared from the site.

Moore filmed Berg before he left for Iraq. Adds to one theory that Moore did not meet with Berg so much as recruit him to do some filming or take some pictures, for starters of the Abu Gharib prison.

Is the Berg was pro Bush, pro military stance being put forth simply a cover for (1) Berg's real purpose to going into a war zone (2) cover the tracks of others who may be, directly or indirectly, complicit in his murder?

Conspiracy laden snickers aside, reasonable people are being asked to accept that Berg, described as merely an adventurer, just happens to travel continents rife with active terrorism looking for work or to "help" the poor or to look for work in a war zone and who happens to loan his email account to Z Moussaui, happens to be filmed by the likes of Michael Moore, something his sister claims she didn't know about?

Sorry but credulity does not stretch that far.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...questions that REALLY need to be answered and seem to have the kind of answers,that will detrimentally reflect upon the Berg family.

Yup. This smells real bad. We're all going to feel really burned when all of this is swept under the rug.
