Conspiracy theories about how the kidnapped American died in Iraq are flying around the world. Richard Neville explores the explanations.
Iraq in flames, Washington an object of disgust. What to do? At this pivotal moment, CNN and Fox News are tipped off to a clip of an American citizen being beheaded. The victim is a 26-year-old idealist from Pennsylvania, Nick Berg. Despite the perpetrators being masked, the vile deed is deemed the work of al-Qaeda.
The clip was first "discovered" on an Islamic website in Malaysia. Its Arabic title reads "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an American". al-Zarqawi is a 38-year-old Jordanian militant who fled to Iraq in 2001 after reportedly losing a leg in a US missile strike. al-Zarqawi's face is widely known and he credits himself with the deed, so why a mask?
The timing of the video was brilliant for the West. Media pundits judged the crime a deeper evil than the systemic torture of innocent Iraqis. But some people sensed a rat. But if it was not al-Qaeda, who? Surely not Uncle Sam. That's too dark, even for the CIA.

So we have the DHIMMICRATS. Sympathizers with radical extremist Islam. Purveyors of balkanizing "multiculturalism" and the need for hate crimes legislation, political correctness, and speech codes as the only "shining path" which the postmodern "United States of Amerikkka" must follow in order to "redeem" itself, by controlling the very minds and bodies of members of the "vast rightwing conspiracy," although it is hard to picture a liberal who believes in the need for "redemption."
Moore figured Berg's bricks would be valuable, because they could be stuffed with explosives, carried, and then thrown by members of the PLO and other terrorist organizations.
Since demonstrators often carry bricks or rocks, the bricks are perfect "hide-in-plain-sight" weapons. [/satire]
Yeah, it's too much of coincidence that Prometheus Radio in PA had contracted with Prometheus Radio towers, to not have related backing. There was also the question of where Nick Berg got his money in Iraq. First I heard that his father claimed that he had made $70,000 in Iraq, then on Friday I read that Nick Berg was unable to obtain and work in Iraq. Now which is it, and where did the money come from that he was carrying?

While this video shows a human body having its head chopped off, it does not necessarily portray an act of murder."
What La La Land is this? Berg didn't commit suicide! Is this typical Aussie press?
How judgemental of them! Barf!
I was not going to comment tonight, only read, but this is over the top.
Okay, who has a copy of the FReeper post "explaining" the timeline? (Bush okays/Kerry approves then changes mind/Blix looks for dresser in hotel room/Halliburton/CIA op's/etc. spoof.) I knew I shoulda saved that...
Well, it's free advertising for FreeRepublic. Once people come to the site for themselves, they will likely change their minds....unless they are pacifists, or appeasers, or DUers, or DemoRATs, that is.
