American businessman Andrew Robert Duke said he and Nicholas Berg "had a few beers" on April 9, and Berg told him he "was single, hoping to find a young woman with whom he could have a child."

Duke, 50, also said Berg "spoke about going to Turkey - of going sailing in Turkey - and then home."

This is the first time I have seen this information. How strange.

Berg checked out of his Baghdad hotel April 10. U.S. officials said they offered him a flight to Jordan, but he refused it. His father, Michael, said his son declined the offer out of fears that the travel to the airport was too dangerous. Attacks had taken place in the areas his son would need to drive through, Michael Berg said.

Yet Berg was prepared to drive by himself from Baghdad to Kuwait, or in another scenario, back through the north to Turkey. Why give three stories to three different people?

Apart from the brutality of his murder, things just don't add up with this young man.

There is also the email terrorist connection from 9/11, when he was in college in Oklahoma. The FBI is labeling this connection as coincidental. They believe Mr. Berg was not involved.

I think I caught that on Foxnews this afternoon.
