BINGO!!! Is Michael Moore Ellsworth Tewey???
I know they were both Jewish but I have a sneaking suspicion that the killers did not know Berg was Jewish. Otherwise I think they would have played up that fact for all their "buddies" to "enjoy" in the taping. (Middle Easterners often have less "Jew-dar" than Americans, no matter how much they hate them.)
Howlin, I'm not getting your pings..maybe you could re-add me to your ping list? Thanks!

It's on the list........but I'll redo it to make sure you get them. I really haven't pinged to that many so far!
okee dokee....thanks! maybe this thread was made and the ping list used before I was added...
Moore's crew shot the 16-minute interview with Nicholas Berg during an Iraqi business conference in Arlington, Va., on Dec. 4, said his brother, David Berg.
A different conference?
OK, so you are saying that, somehow, Mike Moore is involved with this whole "Iraqi-prisoner/beheading deal."
Do you know, ma'am, how long it takes to MAKE A MOVIE?
It doesn't take just a few weeks. Sorry; I know you and your "spouse" might post your little masterpieces online within minutes of creation, but for real-life "movie folks", the process is a bit longer. Why in the WORLD would you think that ANY filmmaker would hold up distribution of his/her film to exploit the beheading of any person? Woman, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
I'm guessing that Moore put Berg up to it. Berg probably thought he was going to get some good info on those fun-loving guys from al Qaeda for Moore's movie.
Perhaps Moore was planning a segment on evil American corporation carpetbaggers out to plunder Iraq's wealth.
Exactly what some of us have thought. But it begs the question why they would interview Nick Berg who had a tiny little business. I've theorized that if it was just coincidence, it could be along the lines of "what's a small business guy like you doing here among the bigwig companies?".
Hey, he was dressed in a suit. :)
Who would have known he wasn't CEO of a big upstart carpetbagger company? ... until his death anyway. Then we found out he wasn't a Big Business Suit, after all.
Before this article, I didn't realize that Michael Moore actually has other people conduct interviews for his films. Does anybody know how common it is for him to do that?
Hadn't heard this info. What's your source?
It came from an article saying Nick's brother and sister were viewing MM's interview with Nick....and said the parents were on vacation and would view it when they returned.
I assume it was a contracor's conference. The U.S. gov't has been putting on conferences to attract companies to bid on the rebuilding efforts. It would seem to be where NB would go to try and secure some kind of work.
I know the parents were on vacation. Where's the reference for Hollinger (sp?) being with them on vacation?
My other question was assertion that the father, Michael, was his business manager. I never read that either. Sources anyone?
And if he interviewed other people at the conference, are those interviews in the film? If not, where are they?
I've posted those same questions before. Good ones, eh? I don't know.
Does this mean when the thing comes out one of us will have to go take notes? I am NOT volunteering.
Great analogy. I hated that movie.
I found another weird coincidence yesterday (and this one truly does appear to be just Gumpian, not sinister).
Someone posted emails Nick Berg sent from Kenya and Nairobi. That just happens to be where Alex Polier, Kerry's alleged intern paramour, ended up living with her fiance. Just an aside, but she and said "fiance" are living in his parents' compound and the father is a big business guy and mover and shaker in those parts.
Though I don't think Ms. Polier was there in March of 2003 when Nick Berg was, the fiance's family definitely was.
Just odd because she re-appeared on the media scene yesterday (via a self-written piece that was supposed to put to bed (I couldn't help it) the affair rumors, and she only managed to convince me if I wasn't already convinced, that something had gone on. So then last night I read the Berg emails and his "address" leapt out at me.
