It is not unusual to give a ballpark figure for an amount of time like that.
I think this does make sense. But if it's at a conference, why does the family wish to keep it "private"?
If as purported, it most likely is indeed dry and nothing sinister.
It IS odd that Moore told the family that his staff knew of the footage and it stuck in their minds enough that they cried upon hearing of Berg's death, but still did not notify the family immediately about the existance of possibly the last known video of Nick BEFORE his heinous murder. But that could be just typical unthinking libs.
It also could explain the tipster to Salon. Another attendee knew that Moore's crew was filming that day and that Berg was there and that footage existed, and after two weeks when it became clear Moore wasn't going to say anything this person told the Salon reporter. That's how the tipster would know about the footage, but not be affilitate with Moore or his movie.
It does appear to be a coincidence. Too bad about the brother raving about what a swell guy Michael Moore is. Ack
(Interesting that brother now says Nick wasn't that political after all. Hollinger (name?) who worked for Berg said he talked about politics all the time)
Indeed. From one of our local teevee stations:
Fuller also said Berg loved to debate political and social issues and was always looking for ways to better himself, that's why he's not surprised he was in Iraq.
Been trying to find other local stories, but most have scrolled off. A lot of these local sources don't seem to keep archives, except the Daily Oklahoman. (And all they have are the AP wire stories.)
>>It does appear to be a coincidence. <<
Yeah, like the coincidence of his email address being on Massoui's hard drive, etc. etc. Just one of those weird things.
