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? ]
