Questions About Beheading Victim
05/11/04 | vanity

Posted on 05/11/2004 5:44:25 PM PDT by genefromjersey

I've read some of the articles tonight describing what a great young man Nicholas Berg was;including one report that said he supported the war in Iraq.

This is a bit at odds with a list of people who signed in for the Global Day of Action, sponsored by the intensely Marxist A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism). Our own DOUG FROM UPLAND published the list of signatories here this March,and,among those signing was

Michael S. Berg , teacher,Prometheus Methods Tower Services, Inc., West Chester,PA.

Reading the accounts, Nicholas Berg was in Iraq twice- from 12/2003 to 02/01/04; and from 3/2004 until his death. He was supposedly there trying to sell the services of his company Prometheus Methods Tower Services, Inc., West Chester, PA

I'm having a bit of trouble reconciling the two versions of the Berg family.

Couls anyone help ?

Michael Berg is his father; he's very anti-war anti-Bush.

Different Michael Berg.

Don't believe a word until you see proof-positive on the ID.

Yep. Nick was pro-Bush and daddy is a liberal stooge.

Perhaps Nick and his father had a different view when it came to the war in Iraq. I'm not sure about that though.

Heard on Foxnews, reportedly from Berg's family...

Berg was behind schedule leaving Iraq because he had been held by the Iraqi police for several weeks. He was then turned over the the American Military Police and held for a couple more weeks. He disappeared after being released by the MPs.

In Michael Berg's defense, I have to say that his statement explaining that his son was pro War and pro Bush was very classy. He chose to honor the memory of his son instead of indulge his own particular viewpoint and I respect that.

Who cares what his politics were? These people would do this to you or any American.

The big question is, when are we going to exit this mess, or fight it like a freaking war.

There are hints around various threads that there is more to this story. CIA? Something else?

Many times fathers and sons disagree. From all accounts this is the case here. According to reports, from all over the place, Michael Berg is a left wing, communist, pinko dog@ss but his sone Nick, who was executed, was a conservative, President Bush backer.

Exactly. The point here is that he's an AMERICAN.

Savage is saying this hour that this beheading was done before the panties on the head 'atrocity' at the prison but hasn't said what his source is.
