From the link you provided:

Two e-mails he sent to his family and friends show he traveled widely and unguarded throughout Iraq, an unsafe practice rarely done by Westerners.

and near the end of the article

On April 10, four days after Berg was released from an Iraqi prison, an American diplomat offered to put him on a flight to Jordan, State Department spokeswoman Kelly Shannon said.

But Berg told the diplomat he "planned to travel overland to Kuwait and would call (his) family from there," Shannon said.

Michael Berg said that although his son wanted to leave Iraq, he refused the flight offer because he thought the travel to the airport would be too dangerous.

if that is true how ominious is it that he worked for the Republican Convention?

I agree. And father Berg is a bigger player here than we can all imagine. His ties to ANSWER, George Soros, and the American liberal lying network have bought him cover- for the time being.

That's where I'm leaning. Berg became The Man Who Knew Too Much and al Qaeda probably figured he'd become less of a "friend" to them and more of a risk. The end.
