Isn't this a strange statement among lots of strange statements?

I know...it has been bothering me ever since I read it. Someone brought up the theory earlier in the thread that maybe Michael Berg had prior knowledge and I almost posted that statement back to them, but decided against it. I would hate to think that he would martyr his son in that fashion. Even more wild is his next sentence:

"That manner is preferable to a long and torturous death."

Why would he say something like that? Especially considering the manner in which it was done. Maybe it was just his grief at the time.

On May 7, Michael and Susan Berg sent out an email to family and friends, saying that they were "about to" release it to the media, concerning Nick being MISSING.

As a person who lost a son that age, I was floored when I read that, especially as it was after the video was all over the internet!

Your son's head was sawed off and you don't think that's torture????

Something is just not right here.

Another strange statement he made in the very beginning was something along the line of "I just have to get past this."

I'm like, HUH? No way; my son just went to sleep basically; if I had to think about that guy holding my son's head up for the world to see, I'd be in Butner in a cell real near Jonathan Pollard with a rubber thing between my teeth and electrodes on my head!

That was me. Just a theory, but plausible as any.
