Bizarre New Link In Berg Murder (FBI had questioned Nick Berg for Moussaou connection in 2002)

John Gibson on Fox said he had talked to some U.S. contractors back from Iraq and was told there is no way any American would be running around the country with no attachment to any business or institution. Sounds a bit like a character in a graham Greene novel.

Perhaps he was working for Michael Moore.

Don't forget to add "stupid CIA agent gets Israeli stamp on passport and goes by Jewish name"

If he was working with them, why would they kill him?

Ever hear the story of the scorpion and the frog?...

[undeniable logic]

The most suspicious thing of all is that I haven't heard the father condemn the killers once, yet he has condemned Bush several times. You would expect him to have something to say about the killers and in addition something to the extent of "We really have to catch these SOBs."

Isn't it odd that he hasn't said anything bad about the killers or expressed any desire that they be caught?

[Colorado Doug]

if Nick Berg was pro- Bush, I'll eat my tinfoil hat!

I'm with you. Nick's father did not sign the A.N.S.W.E.R. endorsement as an individual he prominently listed the name of his son's business as well. I continue to smell a rat.

Remember that guy that thought he could lay down with grizzly bears? Of course they ate him. I don't know why but something about this story reminds me of that one.

[ambrose]

good point..

[null and void]

Yeah. Unfortunately.

If, as Michael Savage says, Liberalism is a mental disorder, Islam is at the end of that road...

[abigailsmybaby]

It certainly is. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the video, but I did look at some still photos from it. That beard completely took me by surprise. He looked middle eastern. I wasn't prepared for that. Another thing I found odd was that in those still photos I couldn't see any blood. Maybe they were just too blurry. I don't know.

[backtothestreets]

Strange. This is the first I had heard of possible 9-11 connections. That's not what seems so strange though. Why would an American Jew feel comfortable travling "widely and unguarded throughout Iraq"?

Whatever comes of this, it must be kept seperate from the brutal beheading Nick Berg suffered.

[MinuteGal]

You're correct. We have to keep two trains of analysis apart here, although it's difficult if not impossible.

We have a traumatized father and family on one hand. Be that as it may, I have this gut feeling the father is also a hard-core, very experienced and clever liberal operative, capable of recruiting his son into nefarious plots.

It's also remarkable how the elder Berg was untraumatized enough to get certain political spin statements out to the public immediately after his son's death was announced. He used a tried-and-true leftist tactic, i.e. get the spin out right away because first impressions are lasting.

Thus, the grieving father aggressively made sure the media and public knew right off the bat that the son was "pro-Bush" and "anti-war"....out-of-sync-type statements that raised preliminary warning signals in some of our little grey cells.

And you're right too, and expressed it better then I did.

The mixing of events tends to split the nation when we need unity most. My sincere regrets to the family of Nick Berg. Regardless of what his father, family, or friends say, the photo will forever show his murderers as barbaric terrorists. Regardless of what connections Nick Berg had prior to his execution, the executioners were barbaric terrorists.

Keep that focus. Don't let anyone, whatever their politics, put another spin on this tragic event.

Also, don't allow anyone to accept the terrorists claim this was in retaliation to prison abuses. For all that wondered what separated humiliation from torture, the terrorists provided the answer. Never let anyone equate the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners to the tortured execution of Nick Berg.

We must stay focused on the task at hand. Defeat terrorism. Defeat terrorism. Defeat terrorism.

The U.S. military has already posted a $10 million reward for Zarqawi
for having orchestrated some of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Iraq.

I heard that the anty has been raised (or will be) to $25 Million.

I want to see Zarqawi's head on a pike ! ......

[LoudRepublicangirl]

In the video he looked like he was a muslim because of his hair and his beard. But, having jewish background I guess there are bound to be similarities-very curly hair, etc. This story has so many twists in it. The end result is the same though. An innocent person was butchered and obviously the rest of the world does not care.

[kimosabe31]

It's beginning to look very much like Berg was in Iraq to show solidarity with Al Qaeda and betray his country. Probably explains why he was under arrest for 2 weeks and told to leave the country. Massoui did not acquire Berg's PW by accident. Berg gave it to him, as an islamic sympathizer, probably with full knowledge of massoui's 911 mission. The Berg's (father and son) mis-calculated the muslim appetite for slaughtering jews. Any jew boy thinking he can fellowship with the "jihad brotherhood" has a very short life expectancy indeed....probably measured in hours. Many of these fanatic arab muslims are the product of generations of inbreeding. Their blind hatred and appitite for slaughter (jews especially) far outweighs any sense of comraderie with sympathetic converts or infidels. They are actually a lot like trained killer pit bulls. The only solution is to kill them, not offer them a truce as we have done in Fallujah.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Captured, or trying to make contact with AQ?

My guess...he was trying to make contact with AQ....but, I don't know why. Maybe, he thought he could make a positive difference?

What a shame. I wish Berg had trusted the advice of his countrymen to get out..now and taken their plane ticket.

Instead, he trusted sub-humans.

May he RIP.

Prometheus pro ME thee us The Rebel

Prometheus was a not a fool, but why else would he rebel against Zeus? He tried to trick Zeus (who knows all and sees all) with a false sacrifice. How foolish can you get? Prometheus also stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the primitive mortals on the earth. Zeus did not punish Prometheus alone, he punished the entire world for the effrontery of this rebel god.

Prometheus was the son of Iapetos and Klymene. His name means ’Forethought’.

So Nick Berg may have been in the business of stealing American and Israeli know how, electronic communications, computer technologies, maybe even weapon information and giving it to the primitive Arabs
