If the tape offered 5 seconds worth of anything that would help Moore make his 'case' against Bush, it would be in the film, regardless of Berg's parents wishes.

I would like to know if the section was edited out of the film before Berg's death or after-wards. Was it to be included in the film originally but taken out because of the death? What did Berg say in the film?

Berg just keeps pooping up in a lot of odd places...now this bomb-shell revelation that Moore interviewed him is blowing my mind!

Folks there really is a very concerted effort to destroy our country from within...we have to deal with that before we can even defeat our external foes.

Judeans...it's time to separate ourselves from the Northern Kingdom!

More and more Michael Berg's statement that his son was the best friend the terrorists had is making sense.

This raises all sorts of conspiracy theories (variations of it have been posted)

However, I am wondering if he was interviewed because of his connection with Moussawi, who had his email address...and the interview was about the Patriot act or the Bush administration questioning "innocent" civilians with ties to terrorism...

>>there really is a very concerted effort to destroy our country from within...

Had you told me this a year ago, I would have thought, "hoo-boy, let's break out the tinfoil hats!"

Now, I am coming around to this conclusion.

Now the Philly Inquirer has a story titled "Berg's sister; Filmaker has decency".

It's a subscription site but here is the google link where it is posted.

Why would he lie aboutt this? I know he is a media whore but this is just too sick to lie about.

I think we saw that kind of lying with the Clintons. Some people don't need a reason to lie about everything they're lying about, they get so accustomed to lying they stopped considering if what they're saying is a lie or not.

I'm not sure he's lying though --- we're not sure what Nick was doing in Iraq or who was paying and funding his trips.

great posts...

"I would like to know if the section was edited out of the film before Berg's death or after-wards."

I had the same question. We need to construct a timeline regarding Nick's disappearance/death and the film coming out. How much time would it take to edit out any footage of Nick? Would there have been time, between his death and the film's showing at Cannes?

I know I am slow, but what reason would "our intelligence" have for not revealing what you suggest was Berg's spying for the terrorists? The only shred you seem tosay is that they warned Berg but then somehow "left him open". That's appears pretty thin.

Thanks for posting this, I was wondering if the interview story was just rumor. Now I know it's not. And, as has been said before about this whole situation, curiouser and curiouser.

From the article: Moore's terse statement said[:] "It was approximately 20 minutes long. We are not releasing it to the media. It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family."

OK, I can understand why they wouldn't release it to the media, who probably wouldn't play it anyway unless it was filled with invective against Bush, which I guess it isn't or it would have made the final cut for the movie. But, don't they have an obligation to share this with law enforcement? Remember the advice of a million murder mysteries: the way to solve a murder is to examine the victim's life. If I were investigating Berg's death, I'd want to talk to Mr. Moore, and see his interview footage ASAP.

I'm in production so I know. There would definitely be time to edit out any material from the film- I remember Moore was boasting of his editing/finishing up a few weeks before Cannes. Plus he was using his own personal editing station...as it is very easy these days.

The is an intelligence war and a political war being waged behind the real war.(Think spy vs spy if you want a more simpler explanation). Berg's father is a well known leftist political operative in the Philly area who is well known for his activist activities.
Nick Berg is all over the place and he also shows up on Michael Moore's radar screen...come on put the pieces together!

The Bergs were up to no good...our intelligence knows they were up to no good...and thus Nick Berg,though given a life line to leave Iraq, was hung by his own rope in-stead. Berg's dad knows and he also knows that we know...but no one is going to really talk about it.

The only real reaction Berg's dad is showing is an unbounded rage at the Bush administration and little grief for his own son.

If such as above were the case, then I hope the dad rots from the inside out!

>>...So, how would a completely unknown young wannabe contractor like Berg come to the attention of Moore...<<

From Berg's father, of course.

Move-on.org, ANSWER, the DNC...they all are part of an orchestrated anti-America crusade. I don't believe in any coincidences at this point.

Excellent post, and you're right no one can say a word right now. But, if the FBI has pretty tight info that Berg was acting in a subversive manner, is it possible they'll release that info at the point of maximum gain, or is this something we'll never know the truth about?

My thought as well, but not bound to happen to a person who immediately placed his politics ahead of his beheaded son. He seems to me to be lacking in the normal constraints of conscience.

I think that it was a stunt gone bad. Perhaps the father and son were part of a network supporting the dopes and the kid thought the video was going to end before the knife fell.

I agree, but that means we're hiding something that could be damaging to us too, right? And I'm just wondering what that could be?
