Nick Berg execution a fraud



You've seen the pictures, now answer these

questions...



Since when do 'radical Islamic terrorists'

dress their prisoners in US-style orange jump

suits?



How often have you seen 'radical Islamic terrorists'

wearing US-style bullet proof vests and body armor?



How many fat and/or steroid pumped up Iraqi insurgents

- or Iraqis - have you seen photographs of in the last

ten years? Have you even seen one?



Yet we're shown a prisoner in an orange jump suit

posed with FIVE beefy guards wearing bullet proof

vests and we're supposed to believe he's being

held captive by a shadowy Iraqi group.



The speed with which the body was identified,

the execution video appeared on the air, and the

'culprits' were identified is remarkable.



As is the timing... Bush & Co. desperately needed

something other than torture photos on the front page

and this came along just in the nick of time.



Oh, and Berg's father states categorically that it

was the US holding his son before his murder...



How much clearer does this need to be?



Final note, common sense, barnyard or battlefield

experience and/or biology class informs us that removing

the head from a living being is an extremely bloody

undertaking. I don't mean to be gruesome, but the blood

spurts fountain-like and in great quantities.



Where's the blood?



I don't know what's more amazing... the utter lameness

of this fraud or the fact that so many people are buying

it.

[ my 2c - Even if it's not a complete frame-up, the timing of the video is impeccable, and the fact that it might be a fraud helps bring the veracity of the prison photos into question. It's just uncanny. ]

[ If the guards were really al-Qaeda, you have to wonder why the FBI held Berg for almost two weeks, and then released him, and then he was picked up and killed. Did some insider in the Iraqi police tip off al-Q about a guy who the FBI thought was a real threat to them? Was Berg doing al-Q work? Was he unwittingly snared up in a plot cooked up by terrorists? ]
