FBI agents visited Berg's parents in West Chester on March 31 and told the family they were trying to confirm their son's identity. On April 5, the Bergs filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that their son was being held illegally by the U.S. military. The next day Berg was released. He told his parents he hadn't been mistreated.

Michael Berg said he blamed the U.S. government for creating circumstances that led to his son's death. He said if his son hadn't been detained for so long, he might have been able to leave the country before the violence worsened.

I guess I'm just too stoopid to follow that train of thought. It's the US government's fault that he didn't leave the country the first chance he got?

Mr. Berg isn't thinking straight, and maybe never will. I suppose the terrorists would call him a 'useful idiot', as the communists did of people like Mr. Berg not so long ago. Mr. Berg doesn't think there was a communist threat, either. It's so sad, so terrible. There aren't words. Those who make hay out of this young man's death are despicable and should be shunned.
