Really strange... X-Files?

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

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

They killed him because they felt like. No reason necessary, just to be cruel and inhuman.

In the interview from outside his home in West Chester, Pennsylvania, a seething Michael Berg also said his 26-year-old son, a civilian contractor, probably would have felt positive, even about his executioners, until the last minute.

"I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life," Berg said. "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

But CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports on what is turning into a bizarre mystery with a connection to 9/11.

U.S. officials say the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 after a computer password Berg used in college turned up in the possession of Zaccarias Moussaoui, the al Qaeda operative arrested shortly before 9/11 for his suspicious activity at a flight school in Minnesota.

maybe he was a double agent ?

Maybe he was changing his mind about them. Maybe he was a Muslim who wished to return to the Jewish faith after seeing more of Muslims first hand --- and forgot that you can never change your mind.

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

Arabs have been killing each other for thousands of years.

One day they are close friends. The next day, blood enemies. They kill their own people in "suicide" bombing, just to murder a few Westerners or Jews.

So if Berg was working with AQ, it would not surprise me if they killed on of their own.

[Marylander]

Hmm ... Was he maybe trying to find out why they hate us? Maybe they didn't know about the computer password story.

The Israeli stamp on his passport?

[GOP_1900AD]

They are backstabbers (or in this case, neck sawyers...).

"If he was woking with them, why would they kil him?"

Terrorists and gangsters have been know to kill their own operatives when they could serve a better purpose dead or if they were thought to know too much.

It would not suprise me that an Al-quita group would befriend someone then use them, Kill them, to further their opwn goals.

It was proposed that only some of the hijackers of the 9-11 flights actually knew the final outcome of their mission and kept the others out of the loop intentionally to insure their obedience.

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