Kerry won't say when he met Berg's father? Could it be that he met with him BEFORE the video was released....

All right, let's play the lefties' game and come up with a conspiracy theory, except what I'm about to propose at least has some valid points to make it seem credible.

Kerry has admitted to committing war crimes in Vietnam, so it can be said that he has a history of violence, mayhem, and criminal activity. He has something to gain by having the parent of a murdered American speak out against President Bush. Michael Berg is a known member or supporter of International A.N.S.W.E.R., so could logically be assumed to be either supportive of Kerry's campaign or hostile to Bush's. Kerry said he spoke with Berg, but wouldn't say when or regarding what. These are all facts or logical assumptions.

Therefore, I'm proposing a theory that Kerry conspired (possibly with Michael Berg) to have Nick Berg murdered. I know its in bad taste, but it is more logical than anything the left comes up with.

And where did the orange jump suit come from? I think the Iraqi police must be involved. Berg is also a Scandinavian name, but he probably didn't know that most Iraqis don't know what a Jew looks like except that they (the males, that is) are circumcized like they are. (Remember the executed US prisoners with pulled down pants? How come that issue died?)

"And .. the father is now proudly all over the TV - when he was previously in hiding - saying it's all Bush's fault that his son died."


Would it be unnecessarily harsh to suggest that Kerry's Islamo-supporters beheaded the wrong Berg?

bump for later reading of fine freeper comments.

What did JFnKerry say about Bush's add with the glimpse of the Towers? Something about using tragic events as political tools, wasn't it.......

Indeed. Uniform of choice for the detainees at Gitmo is it not? Then the body turns up in civilian garb hours before the video hits the net in a condition to suggest it had left us some time ago.

It is likely we will never know what happened. Things are being lost and forgotten as we speak.

Berg described the Patriot Act as a "coup d'etat." He added: "It's not the same America I grew up in."

Didn't Kerry for for the PA? Berg is probably way to the left of Kerry. Maybe he gave Kerry an earful.

"Did you know that John Kerry served in Vietnam?"

Does he have ANY proof of being in Vietnam.

I mean...I was there...and I sure don't remember seeing him.

I hope it isn't like a Senator Paul Wellstone event.

I, OTOH hope it is just like the Wellstone event.

"Kerry: "I'm not going to say anything about when, where or how."

Why would anyone want to keep "when," "where," or "how" they spoke to someone a secret?

It was just to express sympathy for his loss, right? Hardly something that needs to be kept secret.

Bizarre. Senator Kerry acts more like a guilty defendent before his trial than a politician campaigning.

I heard somewhere that Nick was Jewish..?? Also heard he an Isreal stamp in his passport.

Issues of race, religion and origin do not even register with me. I see good people and bad people and try to not mistakes in sorting..

Well I hope Mr. Berg enjoys being used. That's about all Kerry's ever done for anybody is use them to get ahead. As soon as he's done with him, he'll drop him like a hot potato.

"He's already making "arrangements."

I would bet Berg's father is being placed on the DNC roster; as we speak. . .he will show up and make his Bush/Cheney Killed My Son speech.

Remember when they brought in HIV infected people to damn President Reagan. . .

I read that he might be on the ATJ website, but then I read that he wasn't. I think it unlikely that Nick was in inteligence (or even very inteligent) for not knowing how dangerous it is to have an "Israel" stamp in your passport even if you're blond and blue eyed.

But the stories from the family and neighbors do not pass the smell test--I can't say why though, yet.

Agreed. There seem to be many questions as to why this poor man was still in Iraq, and what exactly he was doing there. I just remeber those Japanese 'hostages' who had contacts with the wrong folks. Though that was staged I suspect, I think Mr. Berg may have befriended the wrong people, and was tricked by them, and found himself face to face with some very evil people. Much like Mr. Pearl was.

" wonder if Carrie has talked to all the *other families* of Americans who have died in Iraq? I bet not!"

It is a certainty - but do not think any of these civilians have had family links to Leftist organizations actively seeking the down-sizing of America.

I think you have the right of it. Was he supposed to make an anti-American statement and instead his 'friends' killed him?
