............I was asked WHERE IS THE UNCLE
...........This says the uncle LIVES NEAR BAGHDAD (not Mosul)

Michael Berg said that his sister, who is now deceased, married
an Iraqi man who lives near Baghdad.

.....I found a similar connect-the-dots thread about Nick Berg's
killers here. Lots of good theories and links to their sources...

I ASKED RECENTLY ABOUT THE RUSSIAN-LOOKING SPELLING in Michael Berg's
email address. Here is another RUSSIAN connection....

2/6/04 Sara Berg, Nick*s sister joins the firm of Williams, Mullen,

Clark & Dobbins as a corporate labor defense lawyer. The firm is
listed as one of a few firms that does lobbying work for The U.S.-
Russia Business Council (USRBC) a Washington-based trade association
that represents the interests of 300 member companies operating in the
Russian market.

.............MORE NAMES OF MYSTERY

At any rate the timing would explain why there was so much interest in Nick,
and when picked up on the 24th he's found to have the farsi phrase book the
Lonely-Planet type guide to Iran, the anti-Zionist pamphlets etc. And they
discover his connections to Chalabi's mate, al-Taee, the gym owner etc. That
stuff he would have told them anyway, and, if I'm right about him collecting
intelligence as a sideline, possibly just intelligence of a commercial nature,
his connections to Williams Mullen would have been established. All that stuff
would have been quite enough to have him held for a long time (cf, the Kiwi
case).

[Was Nick TRYING to research/report on PRISONER ABUSES IN IRAQ?]
--------------More details I had not heard before----------

He [Nick] described the conditions for other prisoners and their treatment, depending sometimes on nationality. The others, he wrote, were behind closed cell doors and had no time outdoors. Some prisoners, considered political or suspected war criminals from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran "had been in custody for 40 days without a single interpreter interrogation, just waiting as they still do today, and the Iraqi guards treat these poor fellows — especially the Hindis among them — as real dogs.'

[...I also recall Nick mentioning in an email, referring to Iraqi's at Abu Gore-eb as 'POLITICAL PRISONERS'...] ...

He was seen by friends immediately after leaving the jail. In Baghdad, one friend, Andrew Robert Duke, who stayed at Al Fanar Tower Hotel, where he met Mr. Berg last month, recalled how much he was anticipating returning home when they had their last beer together on April 9.
...
The men sat at a round glass-top coffee table on the sixth floor of the hotel. Mr. Berg told Mr. Duke that he was planning to go on a holiday to Turkey and maybe do some sailing. They finished their drinks, and Mr. Berg rose to go.

"I walked him to my door," Mr. Duke said. "Watched him open his door. I said: `Good luck, my friend. Stay in touch.' He said, `I am looking forward to it.' "

Mr. Berg was often seen socializing in the dining room or at the computers next to the lobby. Of muscular build, he often wore a baseball cap, a T-shirt cut off at the shoulders and tattered blue jeans.
[Wouldn't THAT be where terrorist would most likely go to ANONYMOUSLY use the internet?]

"He came and went by himself," said a hotel office manager who gave first name as Ahmed.

The hotel staff cleared out his room, 602, and stowed a set of weights that Mr. Berg had left.
[Doesn't that sound like Nick left suddenly, or unexpectedly?]

...

"He never talked about the war or said anything bad about Iraqis," Hugo Infante, a Chilean who works for United Press International, said.

"Just yesterday we realized he was killed," Mr. Infante said. "I saw his name on the Web site. When I saw the name, I said it was not possible it is Nick. Then I saw the face. He looked skinnier and paler."

Mr. Berg's friends and acquaintances at the hotel said he was working on communications towers for some Baghdad hotels. Mr. Infante said he last saw Mr. Berg on April 10, writing an e-mail message to his family. "I saw him there," he said, gesturing to the Internet cafe. "I said, `Hello, how are you?'

"And he said, `I want to go home.' "

[An April 10th sighting by Hugo Infante? Thats new info to me, And THAT makes HUGO the LAST associate to see him!]
[Does anyone know of the final email the Bergs received?]

Very interesting. Certainly it cannot yet be proven and I will slander no one, however, the potential that Williams Mullen is either a willing or duped Mafiya law firm cannot be discounted. Curiouser and curiouser....
