"I'm not trying to flame you, just wanted clarification on what you think the story is."

First off, I didn't think you were doing anything of the sort, MCC.
OK?

I'm not sure what "the story" [really] is, just have this nagging suspicion it ain't what we've been told.
Too many loose ends that just don't make any sense, a'tall.

"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."

I'm sure the brainstems at Dummies Unlimited came up with that one -- & after only their 2nd toke -- but I don't agree.
Doesn't have the "ring of truth," just the tell-tale ring of Liberal-Socialist inspired simpleton bullcocka, is all.

"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."

An al-Quaeda terrorist who used the victim's email btw, don't forget that.
Long ago while studying criminal investigation in the military, an old timer investigator once told me, "There's no such thing as [a] true "coincidence" while conducting an investigation. IF you should ever run across one, follow up on it. The answer will be at the end & you'll solve your case."

I believed what that old man told me, and I still do.
He was cast a time long before modern forensics et al using only intuition skills, experience & an uncanny sense for "truth" to solve cases.
Those skills have been almost totally forgotten in lieu of scientific method(s), DNA etc; so, when a few others have pointed out some [glaring] inconsistencies in the video and this young man's story for even being where he was?
It created much suspicion (within me) where there really shouldn't be any.
Capiche?

"Of course, he could have just been a naive kid in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Yea, he might've.
Could be as simple as that, too.

While considering that possibility -- & I had, naturally -- I had to ask myself, "If I were Jewish, would I be running about a place like Iraq -- or anywhere else in the Arab/Muslim controlled mideast -- knowing I had a bullseye painted on my back for any & every nutcase Islamofacist to come down the pike?"
Maybe Nic Berg neglected to ask himself that question, it's possible; but, I didn't & the answer was a resounding, "NO!.

"One of the above makes a whole lot more sense to me than the others!"

Well I'd prefer to have the answers to even *half* of the questions that've been raised, before my curiosity's been sated.

Because as I said I don't believe in "coincendences" and this Berg case?

...has more than one of those.
