Speaking of DU, you've been on this forum since 5.19.2004.

Since you asked so nicely, I'll explain why I don't think that man in the video was Berg. I've seen several pics of Berg. He is a tall, well built fair looking man. The man in the video had a smaller build, and was dark haired and more Arab looking. What's up with that Amish looking beard? There's too much wrong with this story, so it wouldn't surprise me if Berg was still alive.

I'm not the only one who has doubts, so why don't you look them up and tell them to go over to DU? I guarantee they won't be so polite.

You were polite, thanks. Sorry to sound rude before but you think the person in the video looked Arabic? He had redish-brown hair to my viewing of the video. Also, I read elsewhere (the tribute website) that he actually wasn't very tall. I would encourage you to look carefully at the video frame by frame, compare the profile shots in the video with profile photos of him available elsewhere on the internet. Easily his nose and chin are visible and unmistakably the same.

Why a beard? Well one of his emails mentioned that he had taken to telling Iraqis that he was Turkish to avoid scrutiny; perhaps he was getting a little worried about the situation and decided to lower his profile, and grew a beard to blend in better.

A lot of his story has unanswered questions. Whether or not he was murdered on video is not one of them in my book.
