This little overweight slimeball is a media chaser. Can't believe anything he says. He's still trying to get his film released. Bet he is up to ears in hock because he can't get any revenue if the film isn't released.

Michael Moore claims to have an interview with Nick Berg


Shepherd Boy: "Wolf Coming - This Time I Really Mean It"

Whether it's true or not, I don't believe Moore. No one believes a liar, even when he's telling the truth.

Funding was sealed with his Wesley Clark endorsement.

Just a guess...

That's Michael Berg's petiton for Nick's release. It doesn't matter which site you found it on. It is a public court document. The site cannot claim it is protected by copyright. I know it's been posted on NPR's website. Please provide a link.

This stinks to High Heaven. We must see this interview, especially since Michael Moore apparently doesn't want us to see it. Why not.

Even if no one can stand the guy surely you are not suggesting that someone go thru what berg suffered. No human being should have to go thru that kind of slaughter. I dont care who it is. Hating someone is ok, but this? Come on

One mystery still unexplained is how Berg ended up in the terrs' hands.

All other kidnap stories are colored with a story about a truck hijacking, etc. - whatever the events. With Berg, nothing.

BERG CASE GROWS EVEN WEIRDER

By WILLIAM BUNCH bunchw@phillynews.com

The sister of Nick Berg, the contractor from the Philadelphia suburbs who was beheaded earlier this month in Iraq, says she's dumbfounded by reports that liberal icon Michael Moore had filmed an interview with her late brother for his new anti-war film.

"I'm very skeptical of this," said Sara Berg, a Virginia attorney whose brother's beheading sparking a global uproar.

But she said there was no way to confirm that Moore had sent a tape of the reported 20-minute interview to their parents' home in West Chester, as the filmmaker suggested in a statement yesterday, because the couple have been away.

Moore's acknowledgment that he had interview footage of Berg that had been shot - but not used - for his highly controversial "Fahrenheit 9/11" documentary may be the strangest twist yet in the increasingly weird saga of Berg and his Iraqi travels, which led to his slaying.

The initial story that touched off the controversy appeared yesterday on the online magazine Salon.com.

It said the interview took place in the United States late last year, before Berg, a radio-tower technician, made the first of two trips to Iraq seeking work there as a private contractor.

So, how would a completely unknown young wannabe contractor like Berg come to the attention of Moore, whose anti-President Bush screed "Dude, Where's My Country?" was the best-selling book in the nation at the time?

Maybe Moore's filming in Iraq was facilitated with ANSWER contacts there.

Why wouldn't he ask them? I'm sure they have some. And via the French or Russians, whoever has been fronting the money to ANSWER to save Saddam.

Now, who sent Nick on his last trip out of the hotel???

"That was his boy, and he's using his murder for his own agenda.

I think the father encouraged the son to go to Iraq. To spy on US troops? To be a kind of "Lord Haw-Haw" in Bahgdad for MoveOn.org? I can only speculate, but there is more in this story than meets the eye.

Not surprising. The Nick Berg's body didn't even begin to mortify before the ink was dry on the suit.

This suit was filed prior to Nick's death (April 5th). Not to say that another one is not in the works.

All reports have stated that Moore has a 20 minute interview with Berg on film. How many film makers set up camera and lights for 20 minutes??? Not likely.

I'm thinking that there was 20 minutes of usable footage that Moore edited to together to portray war supporters as evil, greedy opportunists (see creative editing of Charlton Heston's statements in "Bowling for Columbine"). After Berg was murdered, Moore knew the portrait he painted of Berg would be box office poison and pulled it from the final cut.

How could Moore get Berg's name? A quick e-mail to A.N.S.W.E.R. could provide that information via Berg's father.

I beg your pardon if I have shocked your sensibilities. However, I am suggesting that Moore suffer the same fate as the human being he is trying to exploit. Perhaps you are casting an accusing finger of contempt in the wrong direction.

As for "hating" Michael Moore, I don't hate him any more than I did the pig that contributed the sausage to my breakfast this morning. I Only wish for Moore the same fate. Perhaps a "slip and fall" during the filming of a "documentary" on an abattoir.

"Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear My word. You are of your father the devil,
and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me." (John 8:43-45 RSV)

Jesus' words are an examination of the devil and his children (followers) how aptly they apply to that 'disgusting fatbody' M.Moore
