Of course it's plausible that any one of us would hand over our laptop to a total stranger and spill our email account info and password to him, isn't it? Maybe he read a few of Zack's emails...
There is no such thing as a coincidence when you're talking about this incident.
A few more questions. How did he manage to get his repair gear around? How did he get around? He didn't want to travel the RPG highway because it was too dangerous, but he thought nothing of traveling by himself in a war zone? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it was said, perhaps in print, perhaps on the radio, that his name was also used in the A.N.S.W.E.R. propaganda. Who said he was "pro war"? His father? The same man who said the son died because of the sins of Bush and Rumsfeld? Anything Michael Berg says should be disregarded as aging hippie, anti-war, anti-government drivel.
The story seemed odd within minutes of its airing. It will continue to do so until the truth comes out, if it ever does.
I also just found out that he actually worked on the Abu Gharib Prison communications tower in January!
Too many coincidences! Too many.
