According to the guy on the link, that would be hard to do without having a crew, knowing the language, and a lot of "walking around money."
What!?...How can that be?...He had no employees...I can absolutely guarantee you that he is not going to get paid that kind of money to climb towers and switch out light bulbs and turn buckles.
fyi
I'm not trying to flame you, just wanted clarification on what you think the story is.
One conspiracy theory is that WE offed him (prison orange, pale looking skin, white tennis shoes) to take the heat off vis a vis the prison photos scandal.
Another conspiracy theory is that there is more to this "Pro-Bush, Pro-War Independent Businessman with an ANSWER activist father who just happened to sit next to a terrorist on a bus a few years back" was an Al-Quaeda sympathizer who was double crossed and murdered by them.
Of course, he could have just been a naive kid in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One of the above makes a whole lot more sense to me than the others!
I have a copy of the Koran. It's right next to my Tanakh, New Testement, and two volumes of Talmud (don't have a complete set of Talmud). Nothing unusual in that other than an interest in religion.
Linda, are you saying he was missing his genitals?
I am glad you could provide me with the descriptive analysis. I could not bring myself to watch the murder of an innocent person. I listened to the audio of it on Sean Hannity's radio show, and it sent me into a rage. I am a veteran of 22 years Marine Corps service and I have seen enough gore to last me 50 lifetimes.
So.. is it your theory that he was dead already when they decapitated him? I think there would be massive arterial bleeding of a live person.
Your not thinking like a terrorist, your thinking like soft white westerner...
The militant islamists would do somthing like this to up the ante; to show their followers, and those that cower in their shadow, that they are more brutal, more evil than the Americans could ever be.
The "con" value is a bonus to them.

No telling what he might have become.
I guess there is a fine line between courage and stupidity.

Another unintentional pun is in there. Sorry.
Not so.

I'm listening to him now, talking to caller who knew Nick Berg personally.
Exactly like that @sshole Mauser whose son was murdered at Columbine.
Oh, OK...:-)
"I read his paternal uncle was married to an Islam and he was fascinated by her or something
You have it turned around. It was his Aunt. His father's sister, who was married to an Iraqi. She is now deceased.
Nick Berg went to Mosul to visit the Iraqi Uncle and while there met the brother of the Uncle and was helping him set up an Internet site.
There's a novel thought, but one that wouldn't surprise me. That guy would literally do ANYthing to defeat George Bush. What happened, did Dubya's daddy spank Soros at crew or lacrosse or some such?
BTW, can I use your tagline?
Only problem wtih the story about Lawyer Mayfield in Oregon or wherever is that he hasn't left the country in the last year or two, and latest reports are that, no, those were not his fingerprints on the bag of detonators in Madrid.
That would be old man Berg...
"You don't understand these people like I do......."
Apparently not as well as you thought you did.
