I contend that Berg was an innocent patsy, who went out to Iraq to work. He went to the middle east taking huge risks as he did so, and that must have been obvious to him before he went there. He passed from US army arrest to the ¥opposition¥ instantaneously as he father observes! Very convenient!
Consider who gains from his death.
The USA is on the back foot at present taking deserved abuse from the world at large. The war in Iraq is illegal, and the real cause is a wish to take over the land for access to ancient sites. There are many old sites in Iraq, and they were the FIRST things America seized and secured when they went into Iraq. They kicked out the locals and archaeologists working there and built walls round them all. WMD’s were a smoke screen! The oil was a minor consideration!
The CIA killed Berg as it does anyone who crosses it, or as in this case, when a murder serves their purposes. Outrage a comatose US public by committing a gruesome murder on TV and try to swing public opinion behind Bush! That is what happened! The CIA/Mossad killed Berg. In most instances, they are indistinguishable one from the other.
But, when the Muslims do start really retaliating, which articles like those on abuse of prisoners in jail will do, it will stir them to and then you can watch out.
