I believe the NICK BERG execution was done by
persons trying to create the appearance that NICK BERB was killed by Muslims.
If you really watch the video you will notice that the video is edited, that
you actually don't see him "killed" by having his head cut off. He was already
dead when he was beheaded. - You can make your own assumptions as to who
did it, some would say it appeared he's in American custody.

This note copies material from a fairly
suspect site -- I imagine. I don't have time to check it out thoroughly now.
But consider the 15 numbered questions on their own merits.
Yikes, this is down-the-rabbit-hole stuff. But the key thing is, why does the noise of Berg's scream start several seconds before the knife is applied, with no visible action on his part issuing that scream? Also key is the assertion that had Berg not been bled dry -- in effect, almost dead at time of his decapitation -- there would have been blood spurting everywhere. Are the terrorists so fastidious? See the fifteen numbered questions below.... Al Qaeda has shown a somewhat deft hand at the timing of its communiques -- the obvious question (see Howard Kurtz's column earlier this week) is why they would shoot themselves in the foot by taking the prisoner abuse story off the front pages? Then there's all the squirrely stuff about the timing of Berg's release from "Iraqi" custody, etc. And where the hell does his orange jump suit come from? Since it calls so much attention to him, wouldn't Berg have sought to discard it immediately upon being released from custody prior to being picked up by whoever killed him? And yes, the site below has a lot of screwed-up material -- I'm assuming. (I don't have time to plumb its depths.) That doesn't mean some of the questions aren't valid. See the 15 numbered questions below. Having watched the video, a lot of them demand explanation. Fishy Circumstances and Flawed Timelines
Surround American's Beheading
Infowars.com 05-12-04 Beheading video anomalies addressed http://www.infowars.com/print/iraq/berg.html UPDATE 12:45PM Central: This just in -- U.S. spokesman says decapitated American was never held by U.S. forces With several news outlets reporting that Berg's family is angry from the US government over their son's violent death and revelations that "Berg was detained by Iraqi police at a checkpoint in Mosul on March 24. He was turned over to U.S. officials and detained for 13 days" (in other words, he was detained by the US military just prior to his death) -- (AP 5/11/04) we have to question what really happened and who was really behind Berg's horrific murder. We have received several emails from listeners questioning what really happened including this one: "If you look at the men dressed in black,
they all seem well fed. Actually most look fat. That bothers me, because
these guys are fighting a war and eating on the run. They are constantly
on the move and should be either very fit and trim or scrawny and malnourished
because of the same reasons. One thing they should not be is fat like couch
potatoes. If you look at all of the photos of the prisoners who were naked
who supposedly were just plucked of the street, most of them are thin. Just
an observation." Alex
And this one: 1) extremely convenient "wag the dog" timing at the height of furor regarding U.S. torture of Iraqis 2) CNN poll question: "Is the Berg killing a reason for withholding any remaining Iraq prisoner abuse pictures?" Bush has been reported to be struggling with question of whether Pentagon should release additional torture photos. Given that the alleged decapitation of Berg was allegedly prompted by the first wave of torture photos, Bush could now cite "national security" issues for witholding additional materials. 3) Berg's last known whereabouts was in U.S. custody. 4) Berg shown in video wearing orange jumpsuit known to be of U.S. issue (compare with pictures at Guantanamo). 5) Berg mysteriously captured by Al-Quaeda (still wearing jumpsuit). Either he escaped from U.S. captors or U.S. let him out -- with orange suit and all -- to be immediately apprehended by Al-Quaeda (before he had a chance to change). 6) Tape obviously spliced together and heavily edited. Goes from a) Berg sitting in chair talking about family, to b) Berg sitting on floor with hooded "militants" behind, to c) blurry camera movement, to d) almost motionless Berg on floor as head cut off. 7) Audio clearly dubbed in. 8) "Arab" reader flips through pages of "statement" and keeps ending up on the same page. Perhaps doesn't even known enough Arabic to recognize what page he's on? 9) "Arabs" have lily-white hands and (other exposed) skin. 10) "Arabs" have Western-style body posture and mannerisms. 11) When Berg decapitated, there was almost no blood. If Berg were still alive at this point, with the cut starting at front of throat, blood would have been spraying everywhere. Berg's severed head, the floor, Berg's clothes, and even the hand of the "Arab" who decapitated Berg had no visible blood on it. 12) Berg's body didn't move while on the ground. Although held down, Berg would have tried to instinctively wiggle and writhe away from captor's grip. 13) Camera angle made it impossible to see if Berg's eyes were even open. 14) Alleged "scream" from Berg sounded to be that of a woman and was clearly dubbed in. 15) Berg goes to great trouble to identify himself, providing information about his family. Why? To elicit greater sympathy? Or to provide a positive ID. FBI visited Berg family in an attempt to "verify his identity". Guy in video looks very little like Berg photos provided by family.
