Note the date (and credit goes to Howlin for finding this) that former CIA agent Larry Johnson wrote this:

July 10, 2001, Tuesday The New York Times

By Larry C. Johnson http://www.berg-associates.com/larryc.htm

WASHINGTON -- Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

None of these beliefs are based in fact. While many crimes are committed against Americans abroad (as at home), politically inspired terrorism, as opposed to more ordinary criminality motivated by simple greed, is not as common as most people may think.

And I still want to know if that Berg Associates is related to Nick Berg's anti-war father.

BERG = Business Exposure Reduction Group

Nobody of any importance named Berg at the firm.

In case you have not seen them, here are a couple of great blog with some good info on the Plame case. The first blog is written by a ex-military intelligence guy. He still has many contacts in the intelligence community and provides some good insights.

Here is his latest on Larry Johnson:
