You're right. I thought Berg was supposed to be a techno wizard. You'd think he would care about techno security.
Houston, we have a problem.
I'd bet you might have amassed enough material for a good book many good books.
Anybody else here disturbed by the increasing use of the term "pro-war" to describe people or groups wanting to defeat the terrorists? It makes it sound like we love war and want it to linger on. The correct terminology should be "anti-terrorist." However, the media is starting to use "pro-war" more and more to make it sound like we love war.
Did anyone else watch 'THE BIG STORY' yesterday on FNC????
Heather Nauert had an exclusive interview w/ guy that was staying down the hall from Nick at the Hotel in Iraq.
He was possibly the last guy to see Nick.
He said one thing that jumped out to me, he mentioned that the night before Nick went missing he(Nick) had been drinking, "imbibe" was the word he used, and this was unusual for Nick.
Anyone else see this????
There was a time when this place was described simply as a conservative website. I guess the secret is out.
It's true that Nick Berg was an American, a contractor and in Iraq, but Nick Berg had no contract to be in Iraq.
The fog of war and the Kulture smog mingle and blind us. Will we ever know the truth?
Maybe he'd like to hire them all Defense Attorneys if we capture them alive?
Wonder if gives the terrorists a pass for 9/11 as well?
sw
Yep .. I saw it ..
Pro-freedom, anti-terrorist, pro-Bush, pro-American all work. Which shall we choose?
"I think that the people of the United States of America need to know what the fate of their sons and daughters might be in the hands of the Bush administration."
Sorry, but the U.S. does not negotiate with terrorists. Imagine if a prisoner was exchanged who eventually turned out to be the next Osama... And the reality is, Nick Berg should not have been in Iraq on his own. He did not deserve to die the way he did but he took his own chances. Don't our troops there have enough to worry about without having to keep track of individual contractors? If Nick wanted to assist in the rebuilding effort, he should have signed-up with one the large contractors who could have offered him security and training. He chose to be a free spirit; unfortunately, it cost him dearly. To blame the Bush admin. is absurd...
Didn't see it; sorry.
I feel grief and sadness over the death of Nicholas. I feel very bad for his father, and I wonder if the following might explain, to some degree, his bizarre behavior toward the Al Queda butchers who murdered his son:
"Stockholm Syndrome describes the behavior of kidnap victims who, over time, become sympathetic to their captors. The name derives from a 1973 hostage incident in Stockholm, Sweden. At the end of six days of captivity in a bank, several kidnap victims actually resisted rescue attempts, and afterwards refused to testify against their captors."
Somehow, I doubt this explains the elder Berg's behavior. It probably stems from his irrational hatred of President Bush and his administration.
So what gives? That, and the fact that Berg was sharing with a bunch of Arabs at the flight school, does not pass the smell test whatsoever.
Graveyards are very peaceful places, too. In 1942 they would have sided with Japan who cried "Asia for the Asiatics!"
"That's a bizarre sentence. There has to be a typo or some similar mistake."
Here is a video of Michael Berg blaming President Bush and Rummy
No only did he blame Bush for his son's death ... he said al Qaeda is probably as dangerous as Bush and Rumsfeld.

Glenn Beck just mentioned Berg and freerepublic.
bump for later
