So far, in the media, I've only seen notice of Moore's acknowledgement that he has this interview. There has been no question as far as why he chose Berg for an interview subject, or what contact (if any) he had with Berg following that interview.
Imagine the situation reversed, and that during Clinton's war on Serbia, it turned out Rush Limbaugh, a strident opponent of that war, had just happened to have held private meetings with an American who, shortly thereafter, somehow wound up in the hands of the Serbs, who tortured and murdered him on-camera? The media would still be eating him alive, to this day. "What was Joe Citizen doing in Serbia, Rush? Did you know he was going there? Did you SEND him there? Was he there to do your DIRTY work? Was he there to KILL BOSNIANS for you, Rush?"
PHILADELPHIA - (KRT) - The sister of Nick Berg, the contractor from the Philadelphia suburbs who was beheaded earlier this month in Iraq, says she's dumbfounded by reports that liberal icon Michael Moore had filmed an interview with her late brother for his new anti-war film.
"I'm very skeptical of this," said Sara Berg, a Virginia attorney whose brother's beheading sparked a global uproar.
But she said there was no way to confirm that Moore had sent a tape of the reported 20-minute interview to their parents' home in West Chester, as the filmmaker suggested in a statement Thursday, because the couple has been away.

BTW,
Michael Moore (news)'s controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" moved a step closer to U.S. theaters on Friday as Miramax film studio founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein personally bought rights to the picture from Walt Disney Co. .
After more than three weeks of talks, the Weinsteins bought rights to the film for costs to date, estimated at about $6 million, and will arrange for theatrical and home video distribution, both sides said in a statement issued on Friday.
Exactly! The media double standard is alive,well,and thriving.
