On one thread some days back, someone said Prometheus got funding from the Tides Foundation, among other sources.
Someone should tell Algore that Michael Moore is singlehandedly resposnsible for the depletion of the ozone layer.
I skipped through the long posts, but this way no one had to actually go to MM's site and give it undeserved "hits".
I've been to Amman and it's Beautiful and there's an 'Acrpolis" type ancient ruins on top of the mountains overlooking the city. Weird that he would say not saymuch about Amman.
I made a comment about his remark about "good ol' Arab-speaking lands". I agree with your assessment of this email. I was pretty tired last night when I read it, but it just didn't sound like a normal chatty note.
I wonder who all the recipients of this email were.
Thank you for your notes on that email.
I read it last night and it struck me as odd, but I didn't pause and parse it out.
I will say that I was struck right off the bat by the "delete" comment. I had a flash of it being an attempt to joke about "form letters", but a strange way of expressing it.
The other thing that really jumped out was the "free water".
The prison comment made me review his letter to see where he said he saw it, and the "olive" reference caught my eye but I didn't pause to think about code and such.
Strange.
Great research! How do you find the dates of the photos?
Wasn't it Aziz that had access to Berg's cell phone (vs. Infante)?
I'll take Door Number One, with Door Number Two in the bonus round.
There's a link to Tides?
Thanks for posting the info. I guess this means that his sister has a role in what ever is going on?
I wonder what Sara's been up to in the last several years?
That pretty much explains WHY Moore sent them.
Another great post everyone should read.
School paper never had an article about student housing shortage in Norman that I can find. My son asked one of the editors and they have never heard of it either.
Why would someone make that up?
We may have to "send" somebody in to see the movie.......LOL.
I heard the same thing here -- that none of the profs remembered him. It was also in the Norman Transcript piece about the tie-in of Berg to OU. Only people that remembered him were the folks from Lloyd Noble according to the paper. Then I heard later the Islamic Society also remembered him as he hung out with some of them. Hillel had no memory of him.
Now one comes forward -- strange.
Yikes, I think I'd rather go to Iraq. I am off to garden for a while, I need something to offset this Moore hatred I have going.
When the first plane hit they did not realize it was terrorism and he was preparing to comfort the people because of an accident. When the 2nd plane hit minutes later, USSS that was monitoring got the word to Card it was terrorism and the President was told.
Know when I saw footage of the first plane, terrorism didn't strike me -- the second one -- you bet it did.
There is more to the 9-10 and 9-11 in Florida that has not come out and our stupid media is aware of a lot of it but continue to foster their attacks on the President anyway!
Actually, what I was interested in was *when* Berg was in Kenya. Your source shows him to have only gone there in 2003. That contradicts what I was told about him being there in 1998 (when our embassy there was bombed).
Your source, however, is more credible. I was likely misinformed. This works in NB's favor, making it more likely that he was simply naive and kind-hearted and strangely in a lot of coincidental places.
One of the difficult things about following something like this is to not get ourselves bogged down with pre-conceived ideas. For example, on the e-mail I thought that it was odd that Berg had been intensely questioned by Israeli Internal Security. Another poster said that that is routine when entering Israel. So something that seemed sinister to me was, in fact, routine.
The other difficulty about this is that the media is cavalier with facts. Examples are the confusion about whether the e-mail was stolen or loaned, and whether or not there was a housing shortage at OU. Sometimes the press just makes stuff up, as we all know.
Anyway, we need to be careful as we proceed along this path and not let ourselves be led down fruitless paths because we are convinced our theory is right.
I do think the fact that Moore was silent about this until Salon tipped the public off, and that the parents and Moore are trying to keep the film to themselves is highly telling.
Also, I saw a picture of Nick Berg at some sort of conference and he was not wearing a suit. What I don't know is if that picture was taken at the meeting where the brother says he wore a suit, but I sure would like to find out.
AND, I also see that the brother says he wasn't really a Bush supporter!! So who is lying, the father or the brother?
