Ghana must really be an interesting place. I've only known of 3 instances in my life where I've bumped into anything associated with Ghana.

In one instance, was a rumor of a fellow serviceman who was departing with an airline ticket to the place as he was leaving serivce work, which I happened to see as I dropped him off at the airport and it had another person's name on it,..about 15 years ago.

Another instance about 12 years ago, an associate disappeared from work for over a month, but called in periodically claiming to make sales calls out of state, but never being available from where he indicated he was calling from, yet his computers turned out to have been used equipment from Ghana.

Then there were the Xerox copies sent me in the mail supposedly from a highly placed source in an African nation with millions of funds in cash who simply sought an incredibly honest fellow like myself to open up a bank account here with seed money so he could deposit the funds under my name for safekeeping and when the government stabilized I would give them back the funds and they would let me keep 10%,...providing I flew to Ghana to make the necessary arrangements. Of course, being the wimp I am, I never venttured there to recieve the promisory millions in finder's fee.

The news report of Nick Berg having ventured to Ghana to simply make clay bricks and stabilized soil construction is an interesting story Especially when he reads to have had the very similar sociopathic mentality as the two other coincidental acquaintences I've had who had linkages to the area. Then again maybe he got the same Xerox chain letter and took the bait.

The funny thing is that I just simply assumed there probably was a spook boot camp there or something. Of course if the good guys don't have a spook boot camp there, they probably need to look into it, because it really reads as though somebody has been training clandestine service folks there for quite a while.
