>> The public bitterness of the father is way beyond normal bounds, and it suggests that a struggle is occuring in the espionage world that both sides don't want the public to know about. <<
I have made the following two suggestions in other threads but always made them seperately. Your comment backs up my thoughts.
1. The Berg family may well be a family like the Rosenbergs of the 1940's - 1950's. (Believing Lawyer Sara without proof may be foolish on two counts).
2. Ashcroft's quick press briefing as to the FBI clearing Nick in the computer password/911 terrorist issue was done in a very odd manner. Ashcroft was clumsy and extremely careful in his choice of words and the whole thing was rushed through very quickly without questions asked of him. (It seemed to me the government knows things they don't want the press or public mulling over.)

May 12, 2004 Video of beheading is broadcast.
Note: While we assume it was in real time, can we be sure? It is time stamped but not date stamped. and there is an 11 hour gap between the time the "murderers" read their statement and the time when Nick was beheaded. (I can set my camera date/time for anything I want).
Note: Michael's sister (now deceased) married an Iraqi (who became close to Nick, according to his father). These are relatives that he visited in Mosul (at least during his first trip).
E-mail from Nick to Mark Humphrey in early January: I am taking photos - where allowed. It's actually pretty sad - I just got off one of two 320 meter monster towers in Abu Gharib (also home to the main political prison) which use to support most of Baghdad area's VHF and UHF. (There's more and he says he'd like to put a presentation together for SBE and PAB inferring before and after repair status of the towers). I think his sadness refers to the destruction of the facilities and buildings etc. He says nothing of our soldiers in this email(that I know of). Surely, they were friendly to him AND knew him. In fact, he had to be well known by quite a few folks. Where are they? You don't go climbing towers without being questioned and given permission by our soldiers or the Iraqi soldiers.
Lots of good information and speculation on this thread. I think you summed it up well that we have an anti-American treasonous crime family here.
I also think the video before Nick's trip to Iraq was going to show how he supported the Bush administration and then re-videoed after the trip showing how he now hated Bush. That was the plan. The Bergs so hate Bush and this country they can't come to grips with the fact that their Al-Quadea buddies are more evil than they are and were double crossed by them.
We're following the money to Moore, don't forget to follow the rest of the way to Soros.
I would have no problem with Ashcroft busting down Moore's door and arresting him for treason. It sure makes more sense than the Waco, Ruby Ridge and Elian fiascos.
