Nope. How are we to know if the tape fat boy has has any bearing on the investigation without him releasing it to the authorities. If he refuses charge him with hindering an investigation, but I think he will roll over pretty quickly-fat boy would not do well in jail-and he has to know that this is a dangerous and serious game he is playing. Any publicity he gets is small potatoes compared to the win-win the tape is for the good guys; if Berg is pro-war it nullifies the lunatic ranting of his father, if he is anti-war it opens up speculation about how he came into contact with the terrorists. Either way, I'm serious about winning the war on terrorism and I'm not above using this tape to shore up the war effort.

Absolutely right, 91B. The film is evidence. And he had better not try any fancy editing with it or he will be guilty of evidence tampering.

If the interview was conducted in the United States, the question is WHY? Who had ever heard of this guy to interview him? How did Michael Moore get his name?

If the interview was conducted in Iraq, then the FBI needs to see it because of where the interview was done, who did it, any mentions of contacts or trips Berg might have made. In addition, it would be helpful to know who in Iraq was filming for Michael Moore.

I would expect the FBI to subpoena the tape and examine it for content and editing. I would also expect that if Moore gives it to Michael Berg, Michael Berg will get a subpoena.

Moore announced the existence of the tape. That alone should raise a red flag. He is a media savvy, highly unscrupulous individual who undoubtedly is thinking a few steps ahead, and of course he is looking to damage Bush. It's naive to think that he didn't begin executing a hidden agenda the moment he made the announcement.

What could he possibly know about Berg's death? He was not there when the poor man had his head sliced off.

My guess is thw data on the tape is totally benign, meaningless and extraneous to the investigation. If it was something that could actually get him into trouble do you think he'd be announcing it? Hell no.

He is baiting the FBI, hoping to get them to do something stupid so he then cry "HARASSMENT!" and make a big splash in the media about how the Patriot Act is stripping us of all our freedoms. The FBI should not rise to the bait.

Ignore him.
