I hate to say it, but I am starting to think Nick Berg was not just some innocent contracter trying to make money.

I'm starting to agree with this as well...

Sadly, it would seem he ultimately does not. Either that or he is so very lost he can't see the forest for the trees.

Oh, I hope he's only nuts. His poor son did certainly not deserve to die in that manner. It's sickening to think that perhaps he knows exactly what he's saying, and not just lashing out in grief or insanity.

Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death.

This man is a nut

Perhaps "mom" is too consumed with grief over the loss of her son to be out in front displaying the same diarrhea mouth as her husband...and rightfully so. The poor woman.

I feel so sorry for her. To lose her baby (they never really stop being our babies, do they?!) and having her hubby desecrate her son's memory in such a manner. He's allowed his viewpoint, but he's behaving shamefully.

Huh? Regardless of what he thinks of Bush, Rumsfeld et al., the indisputable FACT is that terrorists brutally killed his son. They are the ones who kidnapped him and then hacked off his head, and as much as he may loathe Bush, the fact is that the terrorists did the actual deed.

"He went to Iraq to do work he was unqualified for, and there is no evidence he did any work"

That is some what contradicted by: "His business prospects had improved. He now hoped to get work helping to build and repair radio and television towers for the Iraqi Media Network, a U.S.-funded organization that is intended to become the country's public broadcasting service. The network, which broadcasts under the channel name al-Iraqiya, had hired a primary contractor and two subcontractors to carry out the work.

Berg met with representatives of Al-Fawares, one of the subcontractors, and showed them his photographs. They were impressed by his level of knowledge. "We nicknamed him 'Nick the Tower Man' because he was familiar with all the towers," said Amer Mardam-Bey, an American project manager for Al-Fawares. "He was a unique individual, in the sense that he appeared to live for climbing towers and knew anything and everything having to deal with towers."

Yes. Mr. Berg is probably multiplying his wife's very real pain.

This is true. When Drew Barrymore interviewed us outside the WHCA dinner on May 1st, she did the same thing. Until we corrected her ;-).

The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

Something here does NOT pass the smell test.

I'm also looking at his kneeling, jumpsuit pik in a different light......His beard is cut in a Islamic manner, is it not? Is this camoflage so he can travel in the Middle East, or is it to show his solidarity with his fellow Jihadists?

Sure I turn over use of my internet account to ANYONE I casually meet (like on a bus)... don't you? /sarcasm

Heck, I don't even let my own kids or husband use my e-mail.

Perhaps it is the implied connection between the lawsuit and the release that is interesting. Many, many articles say Nick was being detained by US officials/forces when Dad filed his lawsuit. They go on to say "He was released the next day" that sure implies that the lawsuit was responsible for the release.

One thing is certain. Nick did not "die for George Bush's sins" and that is the point I'm trying to make. The Dad should STFU because he can be named as more directly reponsible for his son's death than the President can.

Dad is covering up for a family that is up to its eyeballs in Anti-American activism.

Excuse me, progressivism.
